After the sacrifice was completed, Liu Laoshi confessed to his ancestors, and then got up and instructed Liu He to put away the sacrifices on the incense table one by one. After that, with the help of Liu Yiyi, he carefully removed the dozens of ancestral tablets on the table, put them in the sacks that had been prepared for a long time, and then took them out to worship at the end of the next year.

Because today is the big day of Liu Yiyi's engagement, Liu He specially prepared a table of good dishes, and Lao Liu also took out his baby wine pot and put it in warm water to warm it for a while. The family, except for Liu Xiaohui, drank a glass of celebration to the fullest.

You must know that marrying a wife and adding a ding, whether in ancient times or today, is a very important joy. Liu Yiyi can have today, and the happiest person is the two old men of the Liu family. So tonight, whether it was Liu Laoshi or Liu He, they all drank a few more glasses unwillingly.

One is notoriously shallow, and he gets drunk when he gets drunk. One was a woman who hadn't drunk a few times in total, and the results of their drinking could be imagined. Liu Yiyi looked at the two parents lying on the table, and the second boy who was drunk under the table because he kept drinking, and shook his head with a wry smile. After raising his head and taking a drink, he got up and helped them into the house one by one. Then he accompanied Liu Xiaohui to eat a table full of dishes.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, before they got up, the village of Gutian Village came to the door. He came for the purpose of granting land.

Granting land is the right and obligation of every man who has a Datang household registration and is over the age of 18. Granting land, arable land, paying taxes. It is the way for farmers to eat, and it is also the source of national tax revenue.

Muramasa's surname is Wang, his name is Zhenggang, he is a strong man about forty years old, with a good temper, and Liu Laoshi is a virtuous person, he is a good man, always with a kind face, and there is no official shelf.

Chong Chong got up from the bed, Lao Liu enthusiastically let Wang Zhenggang into the house, Zunli let Wang Zhenggang sit down, and asked Liu Yi to make tea. Liu Laoshi sat down under Wang Zhenggang and asked, "I don't know what advice Wang Cunzheng has for coming here today?" ”

"Where can you talk about what kind of advice, Lao Liu, you are too polite." Wang Zhenggang said with a smile: "Isn't the next virtuous nephew already over eighteen?" According to the system, the village should give him the field, so I want to divide the field for a virtuous nephew before spring ploughing, and if it is well prepared, there will be a good harvest for a year. ”

"Wang Cun is inviting tea!" Liu Yiyi handed over the tea bowl with both hands, and said with a smiling face: "The matter of one piece has made the village bothered. ”

Wang Zhenggang took the tea bowl, blew it twice and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "It is my duty to grant land and divide land, there is nothing to worry about, you can also sit on one, and the villagers don't have to be so restrained." ”

"Your Liu family is not what it used to be, and it can be regarded as a rare big household in our Gutian Village, especially a virtuous nephew, this year he has obtained thirty hectares of Yongye Field, and it is directly approved by the county, which is something that has not happened in our Gutian Village, and even several nearby villages for decades. Hehe, heroes come out of teenagers, and a virtuous nephew deserves this old saying. ”

This Wang Zhenggang is really good at talking, and he deserves to be an official, and the words he said made Liu Yiyi, the little brother, feel light in his heart when he listened. Liu Yiyi said with a smile: "Wang Cun is praising it, one is just a momentary luck, and he can't be so praised by Cunzheng." ”

Wang Zhenggang smiled lightly, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said, "I know that a virtuous nephew is a person who does great things, so I want to ask the opinion of a virtuous nephew on this matter." The fields available for grant in the village include good land, thin fields, and wasteland. The average way to grant land is 10 acres of good land, 40 acres of thin land, and 50 acres of wasteland. The amount of wasteland is fixed, but the fertile land can be exchanged for thin land according to the will of the person who gave it, and the thin land can also be exchanged for wasteland. I wonder if a virtuous nephew can have this will? ”

Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, this is really thirsty and sleepy, someone came to send a pillow, what do you want. He opened his mouth and asked Wang Zhenggang: "Dare to ask Wang Cunzheng, how is the exchange method between this good field and thin field, thin field and wasteland?" ”

Wang Zhenggang seemed to have expected Liu Yiyi to ask this, glanced at Liu Yiyi with a smile, and said lightly: "One acre of fertile land can be exchanged for two acres of thin land." One acre of thin land can be exchanged for three acres of wasteland. A virtuous nephew has the meaning of exchange? ”

One for two, one for three, wouldn't ten acres of fertile land plus forty acres of thin land be exchanged for one hundred and eighty acres of wasteland, and wouldn't there be two hundred and thirty acres more of his field this time? Such a good deal will not be changed by a fool.

Liu Yiyi stood up, saluted Wang Zhenggang, and said, "Wang Cunzheng, I want to exchange all the fields for wasteland, I wonder if Murazheng can divide these wastelands next to the thirty hectares of land I have in the west of the village?" ”

"One!" Lao Liu spoke on the side and dissuaded: "Do you think about it again, it is ten acres of fertile land and forty acres of thin fields, if you replace it all with wasteland, I don't know how many years it will take to have a harvest, it's not worth it." ”

"Yes, a virtuous nephew." Wang Zhenggang was also shocked by Liu Yiyi's bold decision, he has been a village leader for more than ten years, and the fields allocated are hundreds of hectares, and he has never seen all the fields replaced by wasteland like Liu Yiyi. Isn't this a lack of heart? "A virtuous nephew, your father is right, the wasteland is difficult to open, if you change them all, you may not be able to pay all the taxes in the coming year."

Liu Yiyi stood there steadily, his eyes swept over the faces of Liu Laoshi and Wang Zhenggang one by one, and said with a leisurely smile: "Please don't worry about this father and Wang Cunzheng, I dare to do this, naturally I have my reasons." You will understand when the harvest comes this fall. I would also like to ask Wang Cunzheng to divide those wastelands with my thirty hectares of land, and I would be grateful. ”

"This?" Wang Zhenggang glanced at Lao Liu and wanted to hear what Lao Liu meant, after all, this is not a trivial matter, it is naturally a good thing that there are a few more acres of fertile land and thin fields in the village, but he Wang Zhenggang can't let people gossip, right? "Old Liu, look...?"

Liu honestly looked at Liu Yiyi, knowing that every time this kid had something strange, he might not know what he was thinking this time. It's just..., after thinking about it for a long time, Lao Liu sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, just follow what I said." ”

"Good!" Wang Zhenggang smiled and stretched out his finger to Liu Yiyi, and said: "A virtuous nephew is really different and courageous, Wang admires." ”

Although he heard the meaning of the opposite words in his words, Liu Yiyi still smiled and said: "Wang Cunzheng has won the award, and Yiyi is just a little bolder, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." I don't know about those wastelands...? ”

"This virtuous nephew can rest assured, I can still help with this little favor." Wang Zhenggang promised: "After the land survey is completed tomorrow, the title deed of the two hundred and thirty acres of land can be handed over to a virtuous nephew." ”

Liu Yiyi bent over and saluted: "Then there is Lao Wang Cunzheng." ”

"Hehe, a virtuous nephew is polite, it's just a duty." Saying that, Wang Zhenggang stood up and said to Lao Liu and Liu: "Since the matter has come to an end, then Wang will no longer bother." In the future, if there is time, Wang will come to visit again. ”

"Wang Cun is walking slowly!"
