Rong Weishan recently encountered a big happy event, and he laughed in his dreams. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info can only say that happiness came too suddenly.

Rong Weishan is a lion shop in Dong'an County, Yongzhou Prefecture, Munan Province. Although he is only 14 years old, as the only male in the family, he is already the head of the family.

The Rong family originally had a family of five. Rong's father fled from the north, and after arriving at the remote lion shop, he settled down and married Rong's mother, the two men and women weaved, worked hard, and accumulated more than one acre of paddy field in a few years, and gave birth to Rong Weishan and another pair of children.

But more than three years ago, when Rong Weishan was ten years old, Lionshop and his neighboring hometown Yongfengdian had a serious fighting incident because of water grabbing, and Rong's father was injured together with three villagers and died after being bedridden at home for two months.

The family was devastated. In order to catch medicine for Rong's father, the acre of paddy field that he had earned with great difficulty was also sold, and Rong's father was also hastily buried after his death. Since then, the Rong family has been destitute.

In order to pull Darong Weishan and his sister, Rong's mother not only rented two acres of paddy fields from the big family in the neighboring village during the day, but also weaved cloth at night to earn some pocket money, working day and night.

Rong Weishan no longer went to private school, and went to the field to farm at the age of ten, and shouldered the burden of the family on his small shoulders.

But even so, the Rong family often runs out of food, fortunately, the old man Xi in the neighboring village is kind-hearted, and often deliberately collects less land rent, Rong Weishan takes his younger siblings around digging wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, but he barely starves to death.

Rong Weishan still clearly remembers that the experience more than half a year ago made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.

More than half a year ago, due to too much fatigue and too long a time weaving under the dim oil lamp at night, Rong's mother's eyes suddenly couldn't see clearly, and now, the entire Rong family collapsed.

Rong Weishan still remembers that at that time, there was only half a catch of rice left at home, and Rong Weishan himself only drank some wild vegetable soup for almost two days, but when he saw that his younger brothers and sisters were so hungry that they couldn't stop crying, Rong's mother was also so hungry that her mouth was blue, and she couldn't see and touched the spinning wheel and weaving, so she cooked porridge with half a grab of rice mixed with wild vegetables.

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were eating well, and he and Rong's mother were dizzy with hunger, thinking that the next meal would not be settled, and the family would have to starve to death, Rong Weishan's heart was like a knife.

Early the next morning, Rong Weishan was holding a sharp knife and was about to go to the town to grab some rice and grain, but before he left the village, he was stopped by the village chief.

It turned out that someone from the town office came to the countryside today.

"Town office?" Rong Weishan, who had never left the village and had little knowledge, asked at the time, "What is this?" ”

"It's the officials of the town! In the past, the Great Qing Kingdom was called Lizheng, but now it has changed dynasties and is called the Great Holy Kingdom. "The village chief doesn't seem to be much better than Rong Weishan, he has never been far away, and the news is closed.

However, this time he was a little clear: "The town set up a town office a few days ago, and our lion shop is too remote, and now the people from the town office are here." I heard that it was to find out the situation in the village and redivide the land. Weishan, your family is in difficulty, and you will mention it to the old men of the town office when you stay in the meeting, maybe it will be beneficial. ”

With a few words, the village chief persuaded Rong Weishan to go home, and waited at home suspiciously.

An hour later, the village chief sent someone to inform that the head of each household would go to the village ancestral hall to gather, and the town would announce all major events.

Rong Weishan told his younger brothers and sisters to take care of Rong's mother, endured hunger, and came to the village ancestral hall. But I saw more than 50 soldiers dressed in gray uniform uniforms guarding the entire ancestral hall, which was very majestic.

In addition, there were also several people from the town office who wore red scarves on their heads, accompanied by the village head, and learned about the situation with every household.

It was Rong Weishan's turn, a kind-looking scholar who was said to be the deputy mayor, and after learning about the situation of his family from the village chief, he said to him: "Little brother, I've hurt you!" Rest assured, your family's business is our family's business. The Holy King taught us to care for the people, and our town office is the town office of the people. Squad leader Wang, you arrange for someone to pick up bags of rice and half a bag of white noodles from the ox cart we brought, and send them to the little brother's house together. ”

Although a few words have made Rong Weishan's heart like thunder. He couldn't believe that the people in the town hall would treat him like this.

Although Rong Weishan has never been out of the village, he is already sensible, and he knows in his heart that in the past three years, his family has been hungry and hungry, but except for the occasional help from the villagers, he has never heard of anyone in the town helping their family. Unexpectedly, this newly established town office has such good intentions?

Suspicious, he walked home step by step, but happened to meet his younger siblings happily gathered around the stove room, watching two soldiers in gray uniforms, boiling dough.

"Big brother, you're just back?" The fast-talking sister stepped forward to take Rong Weishan's hand and said in a chatter: "These two bengongs said that they were soldiers of the Holy Country, and they said that they wanted to protect the people of the Holy Country, big brother, are we the people of the Holy Country?" ”

Rong Weishan only felt that his nose was a little sour, his eyes were a little moist, he touched the top of his sister's head who was not very sensible, and chuckled: "Well, we are the people of the Holy Country." ”

Looking at the empty rice jar in the stove room, next to the empty rice jar, there was a whole bag of white rice, and half a bag of white noodles, he didn't expect that these soldiers and the people from the town office would do things so quickly, and the rice noodles would be delivered to their homes in just a short time.

Rong's mother touched the door frame from the next hall and also came to the stove room: "Is the boss back?" Boss, thank you for your mother, thank you to the town office. Remember the kindness of others! ”

"Mother, I know!" Rong Weishan saw a smile blooming on Rong's mother's wrinkled face, and his heart was sour. He will not forget this kindness.

The two sergeants waved their hands, stood up, and said to the leader: "Auntie, and big brother, no thanks!" This is our responsibility! Now the entire Dong'an County is no longer the territory of the Qing Demon. Our holy king has said that under the rule of our holy kingdom, the people will not starve to death! Don't worry, your family's life will get better day by day in the future! ”

This is the second time in one day that Rong Weishan has heard the "Holy King". He didn't dare to ask more, but in his heart, he deeply remembered this great benefactor!

"Okay, that's it, we're going to go to someone else's house. I'll go back to my life first. Sister-in-law, eldest brother, according to the system of acres in the Holy Kingdom and the situation of your family, you can divide the fields of four people. According to the standard of the town, the average level of one mu and two cents of medium paddy fields per person, your family has a total of four acres and eight cents of land can be divided, and the annual grain tax needs 4 buckets and 8 liters, and the silver tax is 2 dollars and 4 cents. Later, when the fields in the village are clear, someone from the town office will issue the land deed to your family, and then it will be completed by pressing a handprint. After the sergeant had finished explaining, he prepared to leave.

"Huh? This, military master, is this grain tax really so little? Rong Mu asked in surprise, her face full of shock.

Rong Weishan was also shocked, after the death of Rong's father, Rong's mother rented the paddy field of the old man Xi's family in the township, and the agreed field rent was one acre, one stone and three buckets. That's it, it was because Master Xi knew his dead father that he kindly sympathized with his family and rented it to their family at such a low price.

The sergeant smiled and said, "Auntie, don't call it that!" We are all soldiers of the Chinese army, and we are all from poor families, and the holy king said, we are the children of the people, and we can't be masters. ”

He went on to explain: "As for the grain tax, this is the standard of the Holy Kingdom. If the eldest brother joins the army like us in the future and becomes a soldier of the Holy King, the grain tax can be halved! ”

Another sergeant also nodded in agreement, "The Holy King treats us as soldiers preferentially. Not only will the grain tax be halved, but one person's land will also be divided. If you become a soldier in the captive army in the future, your family can divide the paddy fields of five people. ”

Rong Weishan's eyes lit up!

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and although his family is poor and often starve, his body is unusually strong. Although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was already about the same height as an adult. Moreover, his arm strength is amazing, and the people in the village dare not bully them because the Rong family is a foreigner.

When he grows up, he will also join the army and become a soldier of the Holy King!

Rong Weishan secretly thought in his heart.

A few days later, the village chief accompanied the tax collector and police officer of the town office to Rong Weishan's house.

The tax collector handed Rong Weishan the land deed and grain tax documents in triplicate, and Rong Weishan pressed his handprint on them without hesitation. Immediately afterwards, the tax collector and the village chief accompanied Rong Weishan to a paddy field at the entrance of the village, and said: "Your paddy field is divided into two parts, this part is divided into middle fields, and there are only two acres and eight points. Because there are not many paddy fields in your village, the town has divided some of the fields from the neighboring villages to your village, and if there is any problem, you can go to the town to find a police officer or the town mayor to adjust. ”

Then, he led Rong Weishan to Lincun, and Rong Weishan saw that the two acres of paddy fields allocated to his family were the paddy fields that his family had rented from Master Xi in the neighboring village.

"Isn't this field from the neighboring hometown Yongfeng Dianxi's family? Divide it to their own family, even if Master Xi has a good heart, will they be willing? Rong Weishan was apprehensive in his heart.

The tax collector seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't worry. Not only your family, but also many families in your village have divided the fields this time, and they turned out to be Yongfengdian. Look, the paddy field next to it was given to your village chief's family, and it was originally the paddy field of the wealthy Xi Juzheng's family. Don't be afraid, now don't talk about this Yongfengdian, that is, the entire Dong'an, the whole of Munan, is the world of the Holy Country, and the fields of these landlords and old rich people are already good if they are not all confiscated. ”

The police officer on the side also said: "Little brother don't have any scruples. To say that this Xi Juzheng is actually a landlord, but the county magistrate saw that he was not rich and unkind, and he was still happy to learn from the township, so he just bought his family's land beyond the standard at half price and distributed it to everyone. ”

Only then did Rong Weishan understand that this paddy field was purchased by the county.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, it would have been hard for Rong Weishan to imagine that there would be such a county government for the people.
