The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning.

Spring is undoubtedly an extremely important time for the people of the Song Dynasty who made a living from farming. At this time, for them, it is not only seeds that are sown, but also hope!

Fortunately, the drought of last year did not continue, and the abundant rain and bright eyes combined to create a verdant spring.

Originally, the people of Liangjing were also working hard as in previous years, but this year they were caused a commotion by a sudden news.

"Daddy, do you say it's true that Xiucai said that?" A peasant woman asked the man next to her while tending to her work.

The man relieved himself of the hoe, leaned his body on it, and muttered: "A showman, what are you coaxing a woman to do!" ”

The woman didn't care about her man's contemptuous eyes, maybe he was used to it! She said to herself: "Boss, then do you think we should let the eldest son also participate?" I asked Xiucai to forget it, if our family is the eldest child, not only can we reduce one mouth, but we will have to save five or six times a year, and maybe we can marry a daughter-in-law! ”

"Women's families, long hair and short knowledge!" After the man counted down the woman, he said, "Do you remember Hu Mazi?" ”

Woman: "Remember! Isn't he the famous loser, who hasn't seen him in years? ”

Man: "He gambled with others, and when he had no money, he mortgaged the land in his house to Liu Yuanwai, and then he ran out after being chased for gambling debts." ”

Woman: "Boss, I told you about the work of the eldest son, what are you doing with the flax seeds?" ”

Man: "You know what! What I'm going to say has something to do with him, didn't I go into the city to sell something some time ago, and I happened to meet him in the capital. Don't say it, it's like what Xiucai said, don't gouge out your eyes for three days. This Hu Mazi is mixing well now, he has only been seen for a few years, he not only got rid of his gambling problem, but also found a daughter-in-law in the capital. Although he is a son-in-law for others, he can live a really good life with brocade clothes and food all day long, and I heard him say that when he is busy with this time, he will come back to take his old mother to the capital to live, but he can be happy! ”

"Their old Hu family is really smoking from the ancestral grave, so a guy who hangs his son can mix so well!" There seemed to be a hint of jealousy and helplessness in the woman's resentful tone.

"We're going to have that day!" The man looked at his eldest son, who was still working not far away, and muttered.

"Alas!" The woman sighed: "The head of the house, let's just think about this tired life, I think just follow what I said, let the eldest son go to work and build roads for the emperor, it doesn't matter if we are tired, we will strive to let the eldest son find a daughter-in-law to get a room, so that our old family can inherit the lineage." ”

"No!" The man said briefly.

"Master, how can you do this!" When the woman heard this, she was a little anxious, and said slightly angrily: "I know that there is a lot of work in the family, and the two of us work very hard, and the boss can help a lot, but the eldest is not young!" ”

"What's the panic? I'm not done yet! The man roared in a low voice before he said, "Do you know why the son of the old Hu family is so good now?" I asked him, and he said that when he was desperate, he came across a school that seemed to be called 'Dream Vocational and Technical School', and it should be the name. At that time, the school had just opened, and no one wanted to go, so he accepted a group of people for free, so he followed and learned to cook inside. Of course, he chose to learn this at that time, because he was completely afraid of hunger, and he thought that he would definitely not be hungry if he learned to cook. Unexpectedly, he was quite talented in this area, and after completing his studies, he was hired as a chef in a restaurant, which is the restaurant of his current father-in-law. Therefore, I also want our boss to go there to learn some skills, even if he doesn't have as good luck as the old Hu family in the future, at least it's better than working in the sky now! ”

The woman rejoiced, "This is a good thing! Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"Alas!" The man sighed: "I listened to his words at the time and went to the school to ask, people are going to collect money now, and I have to pay several times a year of study." Although you can pay a small part first, find something to do after learning and then pay it back slowly, but after all, we have to pay for it ourselves to eat or something, don't we? We don't have much money, so I haven't been able to talk about it. However, now that the opportunity has come, the Holy Tree has to recruit people, as long as I go to work, I can provide children with skills! ”

Woman: "Master, do you mean you're going to build a road for the saint?" ”

Man: "That's right! Didn't the Holy One say that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads! I don't care if building roads will make us rich, as long as I can earn money for the baby, let me repair anything! ”

The woman frowned and asked, "But if you are leaving, what will happen to the work in the house?" ”

"Stupid!" The man laughed and scolded: "You think your man is as stupid as you!" I've thought about this, you see that we are planting so much land now, but most of them are leased to Liu Yuanwai's family, let's just these few acres of land, you can be busy alone. Besides, how wise and martial the saint is today, he has already taken into account the problem of farming, didn't you hear Xiucai say that it will take two months to start work, and we will already be busy by then. ”

"That'...... That...... Do you mean to return the land of Liu Yuanwai's family to them? The woman looked at her man with some surprise.

"That's right!" The man nodded and said, "I've been thinking about it these days, our ancestors have been shaving food for generations, the land is getting less and less, and the days are getting harder and harder, and most of the harvest that we are busy with all year round has been handed over to Liu Yuanwai's family, and we are still so poor, or even poorer." Why is that? ”

"That's right! Why? The woman looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Man: "I don't really know much about this!" However, I have figured out one thing, that is, we can't go on like this anymore, otherwise, when the second and third children grow up and then divide the family, there will not be much world, and then our son's life will be even more difficult in the future. ”

The woman said, "Who says it isn't! I don't dare to think about these things, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep after thinking about it! ”

The man puffed out his cheeks and said resolutely: "So, I decided to make this change, while we can still move, to create an opportunity for the children!" ”

Woman: "Boss, I support your decision, but we are only barely enough to eat when we plant so much land, if we return the land to others, what will we eat next year?" ”

Man: "You're stupid! You don't want to think about it, the boss naturally doesn't have to eat at home to learn skills, and I can take care of the food when I go to build roads for the saint, and I can still earn money and pay taxes. Just you alone with the second and third children, aren't these acres of land enough! ”

"That seems to be the case! Boss, you're so capable! The woman pondered for a while before she came back to her senses, and by the way she praised her man.

"That's it! Must drop! The man also gladly accepted his mother-in-law's praise.

……

There has never been a shortage of honest and lovely farmers like this in this land. On the one hand, they are content with the status quo because of their lack of knowledge, and on the other hand, they are desperate to change this status quo, and countless generations of working people have been trying to create a new sky for their descendants with their hard hands.

It's a pity that this wish is often dashed by the harsh reality!

Mencius said: "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." Therefore, the people of the hill are the sons of heaven, the sons of heaven are the princes, and the princes are the doctors. The princes are in danger, and they are replaced. The sacrifice is completed, the prosperity is clean, and the ancestors are worshipped, but the early dry water overflows, and the community is changed. ”

In Mencius's view, both the monarch and the society can be replaced, but only the common people cannot be replaced. Therefore, the people are the most important. Although the kings and ministers of the past generations have put these words on their lips, there are only a handful of people who can really put the common people in their eyes. It is true that these people living at the bottom of the ladder, except for silently contributing their own meager efforts, do not seem to be able to influence the fate of a country, and even if they have that ability, they have no opportunity to display it. As a result, the king's ministers call them untouchables, and they call themselves untouchables, woe!

As a qualified traverser, changing this status quo is a compulsory course for Zhao Zhen's family. Ever since Zhao Zhen established the fact that he had crossed over, he had been thinking about where his empire would go. The various blacks on the Internet that he experienced in his previous life undoubtedly made him feel a little resistant to feudal rule, but after he thought about it seriously, he could only come to an extremely regrettable conclusion: as a populous country, especially a populous country with underground national quality, if you want to play with dishes, forget it! Even if you have to play, you can only play with limited dishes.

Of course, Zhao Zhen is still a little far away from thinking about this, and the most important thing at the moment is to solve the increasingly obvious contradictions brought about by land annexation, and the problem of feeding those thousands of mouths with ideas. Even if Zhao Zhengui is the emperor and the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it is impossible to force those who concentrate the land to return the land, so they can only find another way. The way he thought of was infrastructure, which was undoubtedly a better choice at the moment, which could not only absorb surplus labor or pseudo surplus labor, but also speed up the pace of national construction.

Although Zhao Zhen's idea is very good, the reality sometimes does not develop according to his plan. No, half a month after the recruitment order was posted, Zhang Rou arrested him in front of him.

According to the usual practice, when Zhao Zhen was alone with Zhang Rou, after he drove the others out, he came to Zhang Rou and asked shyly: "My wife summoned me, I don't know what to order?" ”

Zhang Rou frowned slightly: "Husband, the person in charge of Dream Infrastructure Company reported to me on the recruitment situation today, and the effect is very unsatisfactory!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Why is that? Is it that the wages are low? It shouldn't be! Eating and lodging, 500 wen a month, this salary level is not low! ”

Zhang Rou: "I don't know what's going on, but it's definitely not a matter of salary!" In the first few days, many people still came to sign up, and they were quite satisfied with the salary. But it didn't take long for not only the number of people to come, but also the number of people who had signed up before also withdrew, which was strange! ”

Zhao Zhen: "Yes! If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! I swear by my husband's intuition that I have watched TV for many years, there must be something greasy in this, and if my husband goes to investigate, there will be a report! ”

Zhang Rou: "Go!" Check it out for this palace, this palace is very rewarded! ”

"Wow!"

After Zhao Zhen made his wife laugh, he quickly returned to the Vertical Arch Palace, arrested Zhao Zhong from the small room, and instructed him: "I recently feel that someone is secretly obstructing me from recruiting workers to build roads, so you quickly send someone to find out what is going on?" ”

Zhao Zhong still put on a dead face and replied: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

A few days later, Zhao Zhen found Zhang Rou with the collected information: "Wife, my husband has found the reason!" ”

Zhang Rou hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" (To be continued.) )
