Chapter 216: Stealing beams and changing pillars, deducting the soil
"Cow?" Chen Hong keenly grasped the words in his little brother's mouth, and actually gave him a share of the cattle?
You must know that in the ancient countryside, cattle are not common, Dagukou Town is full of calculations, there are only three or four cows, and the former big landlord Liu family has, and other families can only look at it with envy, after all, that thing is precious, ordinary people do not eat or drink and have to spend half their lives to buy one, not to mention which money, it is better to say a good family affair to their own boy.

Chen Hong returned home this time, with a full amount of two months' military salary and silver bounty from his hair, and he came down together for thirty taels of silver, and an ordinary strong cow was at least a dozen taels, he didn't have the spare money to buy cattle, but when he heard that the town had divided it for his family, he was immediately surprised and delighted, and after a while, he asked suspiciously, "Is this specially distributed to our family, or is it called in turn?" ā
"Brother, you are now the general of the beggar army, Zhao Xiucai dares not to give a cow to our family." Xiao Wu talked about this, just a while of eyebrows fluttering, this matter, let him be a long face in the local area, usually say that relatives are about to break through the door, how could there be such a good thing before?
Chen Laoshi has nothing to think about in his life, and people still want to see the possibility of prosperity in their families in their twilight years, so they sighed for a while, "Baby, you are older now, and Xiaoliu has also gone, what about the second, I don't know if there is any news, in the future, this family, it all depends on you and Xiaowu, you are out, and Dad is happy." ā
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely support this family in the future." Chen Hong agreed and was chewing steamed buns, when he heard his mother sewing the gaps in her battle robe, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Baby, Uncle Liu Gen's family in the east of the village, do you remember?" ā
"Mother, I'm not in a hurry, let's tell Xiao Wu about my daughter-in-law first." When Chen Hong heard this, his brain suddenly became big, as far as the daughter of Uncle Liu Gen's family was talked about before he joined the army, but he already had someone in his heart, and there may not have been much drama before, but now that he is a captain of the begging army, what is the matter, he can also make the Guo family treat him differently.
Chen Laoshi's most concerned thing in his life is the marriage of his children, but every time he says this, Chen Hong interrupts him, this time he seized the opportunity and quickly opened his mouth, "Why aren't you in a hurry?" How old are you? ā
Besides, he took advantage of the days when Chen Hong left home, but he privately matched the eight characters of his birthday, and the blind man in the town also touched the hexagram, this is a match made in heaven, where is he allowed to talk back, seeing that he is about to shirk again, he immediately became angry, and the frightened Chen Hong did not dare to come out, so he could only respond slightly, but he couldn't let go of the remaining figure in his heart.
"Uncle Chen, are you sleeping?"
Fortunately, while this was talking, a greeting came from outside the house, "Isn't this the voice of Chen Erniu next door?" Chen Laoshi asked suspiciously, put down the bombardment of Chen Hong's ears, and called Xiao Wu, "Go open the door." ā
"Yo, are you still eating?" Chen Erniu is also in his forties this year, but the peasant family is like that, they have worked hard all their lives, and they look older, at this moment he has a weathered crying face, staring at the food on the table, swallowing hard, and laughing.
Chen Yang hurriedly stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "Uncle Erniu, you haven't eaten, sit down." ā
"Eh, it's still your baby." Chen Erniu didn't think he was an outsider at all, he was already in the same clan as the Chen family, but the Chen family was not prosperous, in this Dagukou town, there were only about a dozen households, and the relationship was close on weekdays.
Chen Hong picked up some mustard with chopsticks and handed them to his bowl, and picked up two white-flour buns, "Uncle Erniu, don't worry, the dog is with me, and he is safe now, but this time there is a change in the army, he is stationed in Xin County in the south with the army, and it is difficult to find time to come back to visit your old man's home for a while, what's wrong?" These days, the family has divided the fields. ā
"Eh, don't mention it, it's not as good as your family, it's all divided into dry fields in the mountains, no, didn't the town divide some sweet potatoes and what's in the town a few days ago, let me try to plant it, I'm going to loosen the soil, plant it and see, I want to borrow your cow to make it, hehe." Chen Erniu said pleading with hopeful eyes while eating the steamed bun.
Chen Laoshi smiled and waved his hand, "What else should I do, just take it away." "Although he will use cattle at home tomorrow, but after all, it is all paddy fields, and it is easy to clean up casually, unlike his family's dry fields, which are full of stones or something, and his son is far away and can't help.
Chen Hong heard a different flavor from it, which is obviously illogical, "No, Uncle Er Niu, isn't your dog left in the army, I remember a few days ago, the lord also issued a clear text, so that the military households in the army can share more good days, isn't there a hundred or so here in Dagukou, and there are only a thousand acres of land in total, and the Liu family is more than this along the river." ā
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Erniu slapped his thigh and said curiously, "Bluff, what kind of person is in charge of Zhao Xiucai in the town, I can say that I have so much land in my family, or for the sake of the dog's remaining army, I gave twelve acres, although it is all dry land, it is better than nothing!" Chen's lame family was even worse, so he was given three acres of land, but who let his family not go out of Dingkou to join the army! ā
"Is there such a thing?!" When Chen Hong heard this, he immediately felt that there was a problem, Li Jing had not only issued an explicit order again and again, but also passed through Xin County, Chunxian County and Yuan Pingping, and saw with his own eyes that each household had divided the land, if not, where could everyone fight to the death on the battlefield, isn't it just for this bit of land?
But where did he think that in those places, there are local garrison camps and local soldiers to supervise them, which one dares to mess around? But Wutai is different, when there was a garrison camp before, the recruitment of troops and horses were all in the county seat, and naturally the land was divided in full, but later, the garrison camp was allocated to the south, and there was no one to supervise.
These poor and sour talents who first defected to the beggar army and occupied a certain position, as soon as they lost their supervision, their desires suddenly increased in vain, coupled with no moderation, the appearance of eating was unbelievable, and after confirming the authenticity with Chen Erniu, Chen Hong only felt angry.
With his mother, we are working hard in front, it is simply fighting with our heads, and we may lose our lives at any time, and this dry bird man in the rear took the opportunity to swallow the soil, originally according to the conditions of Chen Erniu's family, divided into fifteen acres of good paddy fields, there is no problem at all, but now they steal beams and change columns, and only give twelve acres of dry land.
And Chen Cripple is even more miserable, he should have given five acres of land, but he was artificially deducted, this thing is so that people can see it, and they have to nest in their hearts, although they have divided so much land, but their conscience is uneasy!
He felt compelled to do something. (To be continued.) )
