Fang Shi's home is the most typical farmer's home, the family has reclaimed more than one acre of dry land, a rammed earth house, originally there were only two main houses in the earth house, and recently the second son took a wife and rammed another one. It is also counted as three rooms, a fenced courtyard, and a small main hall.

The family's income is far from being able to support people by relying on more than one acre of dry land, and can only be used as vegetable land. The main source of income is still renting the fields of the large families in the village, that is, the tenant families.

The three main laborers, Fang Shi's old man, eldest brother, and second brother. When the farm is busy, the whole family will work in the fields, and women are no exception, and Fang Shi also worked in the fields when he was seven or eight years old.

Even if he is so industrious, there is no drought or flood all year round, but it is just to earn a ration. This way of life has also continued until the year of the Republic of China.

The wealth of the people of the Great Song Dynasty is not in the grassroots people, but in the vast number of scholars, the Great Song Dynasty did not have a big family like the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the Great Song Dynasty, which shared the world with scholars, cultivated a larger number of small scholars. There are also middle-class families in the city, and the middle class in the city mostly do small business or service industry things.

These two types of families have created the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty. The peddler is still a pawn. The same is true of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Blanched good wine and boiled mutton. Several fathers and sons sat together, and the three women ate with bowls on the side, and also took care of the eldest brother's son and daughter.

Fang Shi couldn't wait to take out a piece of paper from his arms, and said, "Father, eldest brother, second brother, what do you think this is?" ”

The old man took the piece of paper, looked at it, and handed it to his sons. But in this family, no one can read, even Fang Shi can't read a few big characters.

But the old man knew what the bright red seal represented, so he smiled and said: "This is a document from the government, what is written on it?" ”

Fang Shishi also smiled: "I can't read what is written, but I know that if I take this thing to the county, someone will come to the countryside and divide the land for our family. ”

The old man was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Six acres of land? But really? ”

Fang Shi took the document from the second brother's hand, and said with a smile: "Seriously, how can what His Royal Highness King Yan said not be true." It is that the clear pond has spread all over, and now every family is allocated to the land according to Dingkou, how much is not known, these six acres of land is an additional reward, that is, our family will be divided into six acres more than other people's families, and I will make meritorious contributions in the future, and I can make up more. There's more than 30 yuan left. In the future, the eldest brother and the second brother will no longer need to rent other people's land, but will plant their own land. ”

The old man and the other two sons looked overjoyed, looked at each other a few times, and said, "Good, good, King Yan is good." You have to be more loyal and repay His Royal Highness King Yan for his great kindness. ”

Fang Shi nodded again and again, and said: "Father, don't you say that King Yan is so kind, where there are two hearts, that is, to go into battle, the child must make more meritorious contributions, marry a wife and have children in the future, have land and land, eat and drink without worry, and let the child go to school." ”

"Okay, the little brother has a chance, the big brother thank you."

"Second brother, thank you little brother."

When Fang Shi heard this, he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Big brother and second brother, how can you say thank you between brothers, it is me who went into battle, and you also help me plant all the land, so I should honor my father and two brothers." ”

The father and son picked up the wine glass and drank a few times.

The old man drank so much that his face turned red, and he said with emotion: "Since ancient times, for thousands of years, there has not been such a benevolent person as His Royal Highness King Yan, and I will not live for a few years, and you will be blessed." King Yan is so good at fighting, and so benevolent, he cares about us and other small people. It's good to be an emperor. ”

Fang Shi was stunned when he heard this, looked at his father, and said, "There are also people in front of the army who privately say that His Royal Highness King Yan is plotting rebellion. Later, I learned that the emperor was unkind and unjust, and he stuck a knife in his back. In my opinion, it is not impossible for His Royal Highness King Yan to be the emperor. ”

Shengdou Xiaomin, naturally there is Shengdou Xiaomin's pursuit of life and cognition. Scholars have the ideology and values of scholars.

But within this Cangzhou, these Shengdou people are not afraid to discuss these things at will.

In Fangjia Village, there is laughter and laughter everywhere, with money and food, and eating wine and meat, it is the pursuit of the small people of Shengdou.

Early the next morning, the village woke up with the morning sun. A group of soldiers also gathered at the head of the village, and the iron armor was taken off and put on the shelf to dry, and they had to be wiped. There are also men who take out some of the precious camellia oil at home, stand on the head of a small rag, and slowly wipe their armor.

Many men went around their iron armor one by one to look through and inspect, that is, there could be no rust anywhere, if there was rust, they had to pick up some sharp stones to rub and remove rust, and they had to wipe it, and then turn it over and dry it.

Everyone is also gossiping, this one said that he would go to Rao'an Town to buy some wine and meat later, and the other said that he would gather at someone's house later to drink. Young people had no other pastime, and it was the happiest thing for the brothers to eat and drink together.

In the middle of the morning, more than a dozen ironclad knights suddenly rushed to the entrance of the village, and among the cavalry, there was also a man dressed as a scribe, holding documents and account books in his hands.

The first knight arrived at the entrance of the village, and saw a group of teenagers wearing armor at the entrance of the village, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother, where is Fang Decai's house?" ”

When Fang Shi heard this, he was envious, envious of these ironclad knights who were galloping on horses, although he also had ironclad, he was a foot soldier. only replied: "You said that Fang Yuanwai, over there, that big mansion is his house." ”

Fang Shi pointed to the right, and the leading cavalry man thanked him, turned his horse and left.

Fang Shi saw the situation, turned around and said, "Old Seven, you are looking at the armor here, I'll follow and take a look." ”

The crowd followed the stone and galloped behind a dozen knights.

It was the young man who was called Lao Qi who was crying and mourning, and everyone left, but he was left here to dry his armor.

After not walking one or two hundred steps, the knight stopped beating his horse, and when he got to the door of the house, he was beaten.

came out of a small house, and saw a group of soldiers and men outside the door, but he didn't say a word, and went straight to the house, that is, to invite the master of the house.

Then an old man with a goat's mustache came out, dressed in silk and full of red light.

A clerical man behind the knight stepped forward, frowned and asked, "Are you Fang Decai?" ”

When the old man saw this clerk, his attitude was not bad, and he smiled and said, "Virtuous and talented below." ”

The clerical man didn't answer, but just lowered his head and rummaged through the stack of papers in his hand, rummaged for a moment, took out one and handed it over, and said: "The document of the Jingluo Mansion, the order of King Yan." Do it in three days, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Fang Decai hurriedly took the paper, looked at it for a while, and the content couldn't be simpler, that is, all the land deeds in the family should be handed over to the Nanpi County Ya within three days, and those who failed to do so within the time limit would be severely punished.

Fang Decai naturally understood the documents, but his face changed, and he said: "How can this be reasonable, is there any reason for such forcible seizures?" ”

The clerical man didn't answer, he turned around and left, and this road was not one or two households, and he didn't bother to talk anymore.

Even the leading knight man turned around and got on his horse, leaving only one sentence: "If it is not done within three days, a certain person will come to the door with a knife and take you to prison." And I know what to do. ”

The group of knights had already turned around and walked away. Only Fang Decai looked at each other, and he was a little confused.

But Fang Shishi, who came in a hurry, guessed the probability, and said: "Outside the Fang Yuan, the order of my Yan King, you should handle it well, so as not to sin it." ”

Fang Decai looked at the dozens of onlookers in front of the door, he was angry in his heart, and said, "Perverse, robbery thief." It took five generations for our family to accumulate this family business, but this Yan Wang was about to take away a piece of paper. Where is there such a truth in the world, where is the royal law, and where is the heavenly reason? ”

If you want to say that in this world, there are not many people who are rich and unkind, only a few. Because scholars also value fame, and when their families are big, they will donate bridges and roads to build roads, so as to gain a good reputation. There is famine and famine, and it is not uncommon for soup porridge to save people.

However, a big change will inevitably violate many small interests. Rich and noble families, although they are also the hard work of their ancestors, they study and become officials. But the essence of wealth accumulation, exploitation is too serious.

A few acres of land, a few laborers, all year round. But he can only get a small part of the output, and he can barely feed his family. Labor is inherently unfair. For the state, tax evasion is also something that everyone is doing.

This is not really a heinous thing for the landlords, after all, it has been done for thousands of years. It's just that the changes brought by Zheng Zhi are too huge. It has nothing to do with whether the individual is right or wrong. At least Zheng Zhi did not really confiscate the family property, but only confiscated the land.

When Fang Shi heard this, his face turned furious, and he pointed at Fang Decai and shouted: "Let's scold again, and see if grandpa can break your mouth." ”

Fang Decai was about to scold, the people in this village have always been respectful and respectful, but they were insulted by this kid, how could they bear it.

But when Fang Decai was about to open his mouth to scold, he saw dozens of people at the door, all of them carrying knives and guns, all of them glaring angrily, so he held back Fang Decai's words. These are prodigal young men, and now they are swordsmen, where can they care about that. If it were the parents of these young people, they would not have been so rude.

Fang Decai withdrew the arm that was raised to point, sighed, turned around and entered the village, the door was closed, and his face was both panicked and embarrassed.

The young men outside the door were in a very good mood, and they went back to the entrance of the village to find their iron armor. Then I was ready to go to the town to buy wine and meat.

The entire Yanyun of Hebei is like this everywhere. But the land of Yanyun is a lot smoother, because Zheng Zhi's power in Yanyun is even greater, and most people can only tremble in the face of sword soldiers, and there is no one to rely on.

But in this Hebei land, the high-density impeachment documents have already flown to Tokyo like snowflakes. is that many people still expect the officials in Tokyo to make decisions for themselves and prevent His Royal Highness King Yan from acting perversely.
