Chapter 4 Closed Doors

To celebrate Eleven's recovery, Xiang'er stewed the last old hen in the yard.

Looking at the bunch of eggs in the belly of the dead old hen that had not yet fully developed, Xin Zhen's face was full of pain, and if he raised it for another ten days, he would be able to have a few more eggs...... It's no wonder that Xin Xi is so stingy, mainly after understanding the situation at home, he knows very well that there is not much food stored at home! What's more, there is basically no meat at home!

Eat and drink enough, the pain in my heart is temporarily gone, this ancient native old hen is simply a delicacy in the world!

Even though there are no ingredients, I put a spoonful of salt, and this chicken soup can actually make a taste that makes people want to eat it once and want to eat it for a lifetime.

Silently reminiscing about the fragrance of chicken soup, Xin Xi took out the title deed of 3,000 acres of land and prepared to go to the big house to hang out.

When the big house occupied the field, the patriarch and the ancestral hall said that it was in the name of taking care of it, and now that Xin Xi has not lost his mind, he naturally doesn't need others to help take care of it, so he must take advantage of this spring planting season to get the field back as soon as possible!

If he gets it back at this time, the output of the 3,000 acres of land this year will be his hard work, and when the time comes, he will have surplus grain in his hands, and he will not panic.

Otherwise, relying on the thirty acres of so-called fertile land in the second house, one and a half stones of wheat per mu are produced every year, a total of forty-five stones, and the tax is deducted according to the fifteenth tax of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are still thirty stones, that is, about three thousand catties.

It stands to reason that three thousand catties of wheat is more than enough to feed two people, but unfortunately, these three thousand catties of rice have to be handed over to one-tenth of the total output of the clan, that is, four and a half stones, plus the grain borrowed from the clan in previous years has to be repaid, that is to say, more than 1,200 catties have to be handed over this year, and in the end, only about 1,700 catties are left, and each person has to kill about two catties per day (that's right, when there is not much meat to eat, the rate of food consumption can be described as fast. Two people need five catties of rice a day, and they are basically 1,800 catties a year, which is already a financial deficit of more than 100 catties, not to mention, there is a little girl in Xinxi's family, clothes or something, they must not be self-sufficient by weaving, they have to buy, then they have to exchange wheat for money, in addition, there is the most critical link that is not counted, the tenant farmer's eating, drinking, Lasa! That's a lot of money......

Nima, this is calculated, the income of 30 acres of fertile land is only enough for two people to eat for half a year, or for a year if they are not full or hungry...... Or, when you run out of food, go to the clan to borrow ......

Well, I only need to hand over one-tenth of it every year, but because I didn't have enough to eat in the first two years, I borrowed a lot from the clan, resulting in more than 1,000 catties to be handed over this year......

Damn, borrowing is really the heaviest burden in life!

You must get back the three thousand acres of land, otherwise you will eat the jujube pills!

With this determination to become a benevolent person if he doesn't succeed, Xin Xi set off.

The location of the big house is a higher terrain, which is based on the environment of Bianjing, after all, the Yellow River in the Northern Song Dynasty is more manic than the Tang Dynasty, and it has been completely flooded.

Bianjing is also located on the edge of the Yellow River, and there are basically several large or small floods in the rainy season every year, so the high and distant place has always been the first choice for the big people to build other courtyards.

The Xin family's big house is even worse, and they don't need any other courtyards, so they directly built the house on a small slope, which saves them the trouble of moving around in the rainy season.

In fact, if you exclude subjective emotions, Xin Xi admires Dafang, after all, the people in Dafang are smart enough!

Unfortunately, subjective emotions cannot be ruled out......

Along the winding stone road, through a shade of trees, Xin Xi soon arrived in front of the courtyard of the big house.

Two locust trees in front of the door, the courtyard gate is one zhang two high, six feet wide, can accommodate two horses to merge, plus the door made of high-quality yellow flowers, the wealth of the big house is vividly displayed.

He knocked on the door and stood in front of the door and waited.

After about two or three minutes, the tall courtyard door slowly opened inward, and a servant in his thirties with a hunched back and a wrinkled face appeared.

The servant just raised his eyelids and glanced at Xin Zhen, and after finding out that it was Xin Zhen, he lowered his head and prepared to close the door without saying a word.

Xin Zhen's face was full of confusion, shouldn't you ask me what I'm here for in this case?

"Hey, don't see me? Are you blind?! ”

The servant remained unconcerned and continued to close the door.

Xin Xi was anxious and quickly stepped forward: "I said, are the people in the big house so unruly about etiquette?" ”

Hearing this, the servant was stunned for a moment: "Eleven Lang, aren't you crazy?" ”

Xin Zhen's face darkened, and he closed the door directly when he saw him, was he worried about provoking a madman?

Sure enough, the madman is the best type of person in the world, and he can go sideways, because the madman has the same meaning as the mental illness of the later generations, the madman is not illegal to kill, and the madman kills the madman, hehe, wait for the prison to sit through.

"Nonsense, don't go and spread it soon!"

The servant nodded slightly, his face still full of incredulity.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xin Xi turned his head to look at Bianliang City under the mountain.

The peddlers, the pawns, the chariots, the horses, the boats, all became the size of ants. The three-storey attic in the inner city is lined up one after another, which really gives Bianliang a taste of an international metropolis.

Throughout the ages, the people of the Great Sui Dynasty said that Luoyang City was the greatest city in the past, and the people of the Tang Dynasty said that Chang'an was the greatest city in the past, and the people of the Song Dynasty said that Bianliang was the greatest city in the past. Therefore, Xin Xi can't figure out where the greatest city is in the past.

He only knew that these three cities, including the current Bianliang, whether prosperous or not, were destroyed in the end.

It is said that the outer city of Bianliang and the city wall of Luoyang are generally made of clay, and the soil is the purest loess transported from afar, which is steamed in a steamer and then mixed with the pulled by children (these children only eat bean noodles and do nothing but, so they can pull out the purest and have super adhesion like clay), and finally put it into the template to build a wall.

It is also said that after a hundred years, such a city wall will turn bean green and can survive a thousand years without falling, after a thousand years, the city wall will become bronze and can not fall for 10,000 years, and after 10,000 years, this wall will become black and can never fall.

It's a pity that the city wall of Luoyang has just turned bean green and fallen, and the same is true of Bianliang, and even the people in the city are gone, so it is difficult to figure out whether this city wall will turn black and whether it will never fall.

In the midst of his thoughts, footsteps sounded behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that the servant had come out again.

This time, the servant did not neglect before, but looked respectful, but there was also a hint of ridicule in the respect: "Eleven Lang, the head of the family is not here, the old lady said that a female stream is not visible to outsiders, so let you wait a few days to come back." ”

Scold!

The head of the house is not there? If the head of the house is not there, you didn't say it at the beginning? And now you're telling me that the head of the house isn't there?!

Xin Zhen sneered inwardly, probably guessing his intention, so just ignore it?

In this case, if Xin Xi is really a seventeen-year-old boy who has been crazy for three years, he may really be helpless.

But Xin Zhen is not, he is a new human who has been crawling and fighting for more than 20 years in the 21st century!

In that case, we have to use some extraordinary means!

"Really? That's really unfortunate, in that case, I'll go to the patriarch, and please tell the uncle, ten days later, the ancestral hall will be decided! Throwing off this sentence, Xin Xi left without looking back.

Only a hunched and hunched servant with a face full of vicissitudes remained, sluggish in the wind.
