Most of the guards were selected from the peasant households, and the information recorded by Chen Yuanliang on each guard, such as name, age, address, family members, household households, etc., whether they were literate or not, etc., was very detailed, and Chen Ping had read it and memorized it.

Most of them are poor and illiterate.

The contract was read to them by Chen Yuanliang, and he pressed his handprint, took it home, and put it away. Unlike Xia Liang, the deed was carefully hidden by all the guards, and it was kept in one place with the deed and kept properly.

Silver money every month, three meals a day, full of money, although tired, but there are still people who care, no better than Xia Liang.

Wen Xiaohai stood in the crowd, his family was poor, and his grandfather had been Cao Zuo in the county government, but he was infected with a cold five years ago and failed to survive, leaving Wen Xiaohai's mother and three brothers to go.

It was the main source of money in the family, but as soon as Grandpa Wen Xiaohai died, the family's income was cut off, and the family assets of the middle households gradually became thin and became poor. The two brothers had already married their wives, and the two sisters-in-law were quite harmonious when Grandpa Wen Xiaohai was alive.

But when Grandpa Wen Xiaohai passed away for a month, the two sisters-in-law immediately instigated their brother to make a fuss and divided the family property, one for three households.

Three rooms, one room for three brothers, forty acres of land, Wen Xiaohai only fell five acres, and the silver in the family, ten or two, Wen Xiaohai did not get anything.

Houses, fields, money, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, livestock, the two elder brothers have become a family, have children, share more, Wen Xiaohai takes less and takes less, but he doesn't care too much.

At that time, because of his grandfather, Wen Xiaohai learned some words since he was a child, and entered the county to be a white straight. But when it was the turn to split the family, this white and straight identity became an excuse for the brother and sister-in-law, saying that since it was a decent matter, the mother should be admired by Wen Xiaohai for filial piety.

Angry, the money is less, the family has less money, Wen Xiaohai doesn't care, but the old mother in the family, how can she share it like this? That's a human being, a close relative who raised himself and his two brothers, how can he be divided like an animal?

Wen Xiaohai went to the two brothers to theorize, and his words were impulsive, so he moved his hands and beat the two sisters-in-law. There was a lot of trouble that day, and the village elders came to reconcile, and Wen Xiaohai questioned the two brothers in front of the chiefs.

But in the end, the two brothers still did not change their minds, and refused to support their old mother, saying that they would give out several liters of rice and grain every month for their mother's use.

No, Wen Xiaohai didn't ask for the rice grain, with the bruises on his body, he turned around and left, and never had any contact with his two brothers again.

It was the rice and grain that the two brothers sent to their home later, and Wen Xiaohai also threw it out.

The old mother is still in the house in the county, and she is in good health, but she can't rest assured of Wen Xiaohai, and often urges Wen Xiaohai to marry a wife.

Wive? Wen Xiaohai shook his head, thinking of two sisters-in-law who don't pay attention to etiquette and don't know a trace of filial piety, can they marry such a woman?

The two brothers have never met their sister-in-law, and after being introduced by the matchmaker, they married their wives directly after the consent of the grandmothers of both parties.

In Wen Xiaohai's view, this is the biggest problem, that is, because he married in a hurry, or even did not have a clear understanding of people's temperament, it would lead to the death of the grandfather and the hasty separation of the family.

In the past, the three brothers were very harmonious. But when the brother married his sister-in-law, things changed.

Wen Xiaohai thought that in the future, he must understand each other, get along for a while, and look at his temperament before he can marry a wife. If you marry a shrew, it is better not to marry for the rest of your life.

In the county, it is white, but Wen Xiaohai did not make much money, those people are all poor people, the family is poor, if you let people extract some more, it will be even more difficult.

Sometimes Wen Xiaohai wonders why some people are poor and have no rice to survive, so they can only boil and eat broken rice crops. But some people, such as Xue Xiong, can keep fish and meat every day, and they can't finish eating, and the rest is all poured out and fed to the dogs.

The poor are lazy, the rich are industrious?

Poor households have less land and rich households have more fields?

For a long time, Wen Xiaohai didn't find the answer, after Chen Ping entered the county government and made the county order, Wen Xiaohai went to the gentleman's inn and heard the conversation of the guys there.

I heard that he was just an ordinary guy in an inn, and he actually had such a high salary every month, and he had rest and rewards, and the manager level they said was even higher.

Later, Wen Xiaohai went to Baitu Village, saw the brick kiln, and met the fire sickle factory, and heard that the workers had a monthly salary.

It's not a penny, but a staggering amount, just a little estimate, you know that helping in a brick kiln or inn is more cost-effective than farming.

Not only compared with poor households, but also compared with those middle-aged households, the income of money is not bad.

Seeing all this, Wen Xiaohai's heart was tumbling, and he felt that he had been thinking, doubting, and looking for the question, which seemed to have an answer.

Merchants can make people rich and get people out of poverty. Chen Ping is different from others, he values businessmen, and respects and cares for those helpers, and gives a lot of rewards.

When Chen Ping came to Wen Xiaohai and asked if he wanted to join the military government, Wen Xiaohai asked: "Why do you want to pay those helpers such a high salary, not only every month, but also at the end of the year." ”

Wen Xiaohai remembers very well that Chen Ping replied: "Only when the individual is rich can the country be rich and strong." Why pay those wages? Because they create those profits, and that's what they deserve. ”

Country? Shouldn't it be the imperial court?

Create? Does it mean workmanship?

Although there are doubts, Wen Xiaohai can feel Chen Ping's meaning and Chen Ping's attitude.

"For example, although it is peaceful today, there are Linyi in the south, Tuyuhun in the west, and Turks in the north. Only when the country has a strong army can it keep the people and let people live and work in peace and contentment. Chen Ping said this with Wen Xiaohai.

If you enter the military government, you will definitely be able to live and work in peace and contentment? Wen Xiaohai didn't believe it, in the past, Xue Xiong was the main book in the county, and when Xin Zide was the county commander, he didn't see that the people in the county became rich, but changed tricks to blackmail.

But after Chen Ping became the county order, the conscription of the ditch and the Ding Zhuang of the county came back completely.

Wen Xiaohai entered the military government, but he did not fully agree with Chen Ping's statement that he could protect the people with the army, and he was willing to follow Chen Ping because he believed in Chen Ping.

In addition, the monthly money of the military government and the three meals a day really solved Wen Xiaohai's own predicament.

Just at a glance, all the thoughts passed through his mind, the surroundings were quiet, no one stood up, Wen Xiaohai saw a touch of disappointment in Chen Ping's eyes, and then, he raised his hand: "I remember, I'll read it." ”

The guards of the hundred people, no one remembered the clause, it was Zhang Shan'an and a few people, and they didn't remember it, Chen Ping was going to read it in person, but he didn't expect one person to stand up.

This person Chen Ping knows, Wen Xiaohai, who is not prominent in the county on weekdays, but every time he has words, it will always make people novel: "Well, Wen Xiaohai, then you can read it to everyone, how do the terms of the contract say?" (To be continued.) )
