In the spring season, the morning is always cool and breezy, and the cold wind blows a little sleepy.

"I don't know when I sleep in spring, mosquitoes bite me everywhere... Humming verses that sounded inexplicable to Thirty-Six, Xin Xi slowly trotted around the yard.

Yesterday, I persuaded Ouyang Xiu to exercise more, and starting today, he will naturally be able to lead by example.

"Eleven Lang, it's actually useless for you to run like this, at most you can move your muscles and bones." Thirty-six said unceremoniously on the side.

Xin Zhen turned his head, his face full of indifference: "Yes, I am the one who moves." ”

In his heart, he silently added: Anyway, the system has determined that Lao Tzu can't practice martial arts, so why do you have to work hard to practice martial arts, it's enough to keep your body healthy......

Thirty-six was speechless for a while.

Being in Jiangmen, the force value is almost zero, and Thirty-six has always felt that Eleven Lang is an outlier.

However, considering that Eleven Lang has been crazy for three years, and these three years have just missed the best period to stay up to the body, even if he starts practicing now, it doesn't make much sense.

Moreover, in today's world, even if you expand your territory, you can't compare to the champion and the first outside the Donghua Gate, and Eleven Lang is indeed very smart, and it is very likely to be admitted to the champion!

Therefore, thirty-six is too lazy to say.

As he ran, there was a knock on the door.

Xin Xi smiled slightly and looked at Thirty-six fixedly.

After the two looked at each other for about ten seconds, Thirty-six walked towards the door with a helpless face: "Eleven Lang, it's best to buy two house slaves today, it's really not good, go to the tooth shop to pick two back." ”

The tooth shop is actually a kind of institutional organization similar to the intermediary of later generations - the place where the job is introduced, usually operated by some local ruffians and hooligans, and as for signing, it is hired.

That's right, since the Song Dynasty, not only did there still remain the Sui and Tang dynasties of human trafficking, but at the same time, there was also the emergence of employment, slaves can be bought, or they can sign contracts for employment, but employment is not very popular, most families still choose to buy for life, even those who choose to hire, will not really only hire for a year or a few years, but always renew.

"Well, I'll go buy two when I get back." Xin Zhen replied with an indecent face, slowing down his running.

There was a creak, and the dilapidated door opened.

Standing in front of the door was Xin Qun, the second son of Xin Baiwu.

Thirty-six welcomed Xin Qun into the house with a dark face.

Xin Qun was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he had a very delicate face, and at this time, there was a little panic flashing in his square eyes on this delicate face.

This kind of delicate little face can make people feel close to each other, and this kind of panicked eyes are the most likely to arouse the desire of others to protect.

"Brother Eleven!" Xin Qun saluted with his hands very restrainedly.

Eleven Lang looked up and smiled slightly: "Brother Thirteen, here." Let's go inside and sit down. ”

"Don't dare, my brother came to deliver the land deed and forest deed on the order of my brother." Xin Qun's face was still full of nervousness.

Xin Xi smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Xiang'er made steamed buns, and after eating, we will talk about business." ”

Xin Qun's eyes flickered slightly, and he always felt that this eleventh brother didn't seem to be as hateful as the eldest brother said, but rather approachable.

"No, Brother Eleven, Brother I have to go back to prepare for the six thousand stone grain."

Xin Xi smiled helplessly, he only turned his father into a "madman" yesterday, and it is obviously impossible to ease the relationship so quickly.

"That being the case, the thirteenth brother (the name between brothers and sisters in the Song Dynasty is like this, no matter how old the ranking, the male is always called a few brothers, the eldest shouts that the third brother must also be called the third brother, and the same is true for the women, they are all called a few sisters) will look at the land deed and forest deed with me."

Xin Qun nodded, and quickly took out a stack of papers from his arms, the paper was slightly yellowed, obviously some age.

Xin Xi took a cursory glance, the title deed is the title deed taken out by Xin Baiwu yesterday, and the forest deed is also like the land deed, only writing that the mountain forest was measured during the Kaibao period of Taizu, and it was given to the Xin family by the household department in the sixth year of Kaibao, and after that, there was no content of the change of the head of the household.

Horses, this is a loophole in the Northern Song Dynasty!

No, it can't be regarded as a loophole, this is mainly because since the Song Dynasty, since Taizu Zhao Kuangyin has been encouraging land annexation, probably because the official family feels that mergers are too frequent, and every time the owner changes, he has to go to the household department to report the conclusion, which is too troublesome, so there is no such procedure directly? !

Sure enough, the Song Dynasty is so individual, from Qin to Tang in front of it, all of them inhibit land annexation, and the land circulation is recorded in great detail, and the same is true of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties behind it.

It is also this attitude of the Great Song Dynasty that led to the fact that during the Kaibao period, 100 guan money could buy 1,000 acres of fertile land, and now in the eighth year of Jiayou, even 1000 guan money can not buy 100 acres of fertile land.

Because, land annexation has been developed to the limit in the past hundred years, and the owners of land have basically solidified.

Since it has developed like this, the land is gone, but the population is still growing rapidly, and even directly exceeded 100 million, so what should we do?

The officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties came up with a new method - to open up the wasteland, whoever opened up the wasteland, the land belonged to whom, and the government could make a deed for it for free.

Therefore, this is the reason why Xin Xi wants the 50,000 acres of forest land. These 50,000 acres of forest land can be developed into 10,000 acres of fertile land.

Moreover, if you want to make some small inventions in the future, the deep mountains and old forests are also quite a good place.

Hmm, little invention, it's time to find a time to meet Shen Kuo!

After reading the title deed and the forest deed, Xin Zhen raised his head and looked at Xin Qun with a sincere face: "Thirteenth brother, the grievance between me and my uncle is a personal grievance, and nothing else is involved. ”

Xin Qun shrunk his neck, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and nodded respectfully: "What Brother Eleventh said is reasonable. ”

Xin Xi smiled faintly: "Well, there is no problem with the land deed and the forest deed, the thirteenth brother should go back early, by the way, is there enough manpower to prepare the grain?" If that's not enough, you can go to East Cross Street and find a Wednesday Lang helper, just say I mean. ”

"Yes, that brother won't bother Brother Eleven!" Xin Qun saluted respectfully, and Nuo Nuo withdrew.

Xin Zhen got up, looked at Xin Qun's back and smiled slightly, judging from the human feelings and sophistication in his previous life, Xin Qun, a little white, should be unwary of himself.

If this old thirteen goes to East Cross Street to find Zhou Lang and the others again, he will be exposed to it all the way, and I am afraid that he will also worship him.

In this case, in the future, only Xin Qun needs to be the head of the big house, then the big house will be stabilized, as for the second room, thinking of the enthusiastic sister-in-law and the good old brother, Xin Qun has a headache, let's put it first.

After eating the buns, Xin Xi stretched his waist comfortably and said, "Thirty-six, go into the city to find a tooth man, buy a slave!" ”

Thirty-six's expression shook slightly, and his eyes rarely bloomed: "Wow! ”

If you are looking for a tooth man, you will naturally have a way to be a ruffian and a hooligan, and Liu San'er and Zhou Sanlang are undoubtedly the best guides.

Xinjiazhuang to Bianliang City is only three miles away, not long after, Bianliang City Gate will come into view.

Walking into the city, people come to salute from time to time. Among these people were peddlers, pawns, and scholars.

Merchant: "Eleven Lang! Do you want to buy something in the morning market? ”

Scoundrel: "Eleven morning!" ”

Reader: "Eleven Lang, good morning!" ”

Feeling people's enthusiasm, Xin Zhen was slightly surprised, when will we become stars? !

In other words, after Da Song became a superstar, it seems to be a good choice to use public opinion to control the hearts of the people in order to save Da Song.

Xin Zhen thought like this, and his face darkened when he thought about it.

Not bad, your sister, it's not bad in the 21st century, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, Yijie Youling also wants to preside over national politics?! If you really want to do this, it's not enough to punish the nine clans!

Shaking off this inexplicable thought, Xin Xi walked towards East Cross Street.

I went around East Cross Avenue and didn't see Zhou Lang and Liu San'er and others.

"Heh, these two boys can't find a shadow when they have money!" Xin Zhen said strangely.

Thirty-six's face darkened: "Eleven Lang, you asked Thirteen Lang to find them as helpers in the morning." I guess I'm going to the big house. ”

Xin Zhen's face was speechless.

It was too embarrassing to stay, Xin Xi turned around and left directly, tossing all the way, asking people when he met, and finally found the tooth man.

In the end, he was taken to a remote place by the tooth man.

"Eleven Lang, I don't know what kind of house slave I need?" The fleshy-toothed man had an ugly smile on his face.

Xin Xi thought for a while and said, "Younger, under ten years old, male or female, two, well, it's still a man and a woman." ”

Men and women work together without getting tired......

"Yo, what a coincidence, don't hide it from Eleven Lang, I just arrived yesterday with a pair of sisters and brothers, that is, the female baby is older, eleven years old, and the male baby is only eight years old." As he spoke, the tooth man paid attention to Xin Zhen's expression.

When Xin Xi heard this, his heart moved slightly: "Bring it to me and show it." ”

"Eleven Lang wait a minute!" The tooth man turned around with a smile and waved the two little guys out.

A moment later, two young men returned, each holding a child—not by hand, but by a rope around the child's neck.

The two children were hungry yellow, their hair was disheveled, and they exuded a disgusting smell of rancidity.

They were all wearing only a thin and dirty cloth garment, which seemed to have hardened into a piece because it had not been washed for a long time, and it was impossible to see the wrinkles of the clothes as they walked.

Xin Zhen's heart shook suddenly, but his face did not change in the slightest.

It was the first time he had really seen people being treated like animals!

"How much does it cost?!" Resisting the urge to kill the tooth man, Xin Xi asked lightly.

"Twenty runs. However, since it is Eleven Lang who wants to buy it, he will give Eleven Lang a discount, two together, thirty yuan! Of course, can Eleven give me some pointers later? The tooth man said with a smile on his face.

Xin Zhen nodded expressionlessly: "Thirty-six, give money!" Forty times! ”

The tooth man's face changed slightly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his face looked hesitant.

Saying that, Xin Xi got up directly, didn't feel the smell of the two children, walked over directly, and half-squatted on the ground: "Come home with me, I'll let you be people!" ”

The little boy shrunk his neck slightly, his eyes flickering with panic. The little girl raised her head and looked directly at Xin Zhen, her eyes were dull and there was no color.

"Untie the rope!" Xin Zhen looked up and said.

"This?" The two little guys were a little hesitant.

The tooth man walked over: "Do as Eleven Lang said." ”

"Untie the rope and they'll run." A guy explained.

Xin Zhen didn't reply: "I'll give the money if I run away." Untie! ”

The rope was untied, the little boy spread his legs and ran towards the back, ran a few steps, he turned around, and found that Sister A was still in place, and immediately looked anxious: "Sister A! ”

The little girl looked at Xin Zhen directly: "You say, let's be human?!" ”

Xin Zhen smiled, laughing sadly and sadly.

"Yes!"
