Luoshan Village is a small village under the jurisdiction of Fengya County, Qinchuan County.

The population of the village is about 100 households, more than 600 people, and more than 200 acres of cultivated land.

This is just the most ordinary small village in the entire Fengya County.

However, today's Luoshan Village has ushered in a team of merchants from other places......

"Hey sister-in-law, let's ...... What kind of village is it? ”

Not surprisingly, it was naturally Zhao Long, who was born in Qinchuan County, who stepped forward to talk to his sister-in-law, and I saw him speaking a Qinchuan dialect and enthusiastically climbing the relationship.

"Huh, huh, this village?"

Sure enough, as soon as the eldest sister-in-law heard Qin Chuan's accent, her attitude immediately became affectionate, and her originally slightly vigilant eyes looked at this group of foreign merchants and suddenly eased a lot.

"Eh, this village...... Is it a mountain village? ”

The eldest sister-in-law put down the work in her hand and responded with a smile.

"Oh! What is the village of the mountain? You are a business traveler from other places, and I want to borrow some water to drink at our house to relieve our fatigue ......"

As Zhao Long spoke, Zhao Zheng, Zhao Yun, and Guan Fei also followed, and in the strange eyes of the eldest sister-in-law, they all turned over and dismounted.

"Oh? Business traveler from out of town? ”

The eldest sister-in-law was still curious, but when she looked at the visitors behind her, she knew that these people should be business trips from other places.

"This ...... Sister-in-law, we want to come over and drink water under an excuse. ”

Zhao Zheng watched his sister-in-law's gaze move back and forth on several of his bodies, and couldn't help but say with a smile.

It's just that when the word sister-in-law was spoken, Zhao Zheng was inexplicable, and the word 'dumpling' suddenly flashed in his heart......

But as soon as he thought of dumplings, Zhao Zheng really couldn't help but look at this sister-in-law twice.

It doesn't matter if I look at it, I found that although this sister-in-law is just an ordinary peasant woman, her figure and face really have a bit of beauty.

And compared with Wan'er and Yun'er, these untrained little girls, there are a few more kinds of mature charm.

"Oh, borrow water to drink? Can it be done? Quick, let's get in and sit down! ”

The sister-in-law saw that these foreign merchants were also polite, and immediately warmly invited a few guests to sit in the house.

Zhao Zheng and the others immediately thanked each other, followed the eldest sister-in-law into the house, and looked at the room curiously while leashing the horse outside.

At this glance, several people looked at each other, but they all saw the same similar feeling in each other's eyes, that is, one word - poor.

That's right, it's poor.

Because this thatched house made of earthen walls is really dilapidated, and it looks like it has fallen into disrepair.

Life in the world is nothing more than the words "food, clothing, housing and transportation", but at present, if you only look at it from the perspective of 'living', the people of Qinchuan County are really poor and struggling......

"Ping'er! Ping'er! Come out and pick up the guests. ”

The eldest sister-in-law walked in front to lead the way, and as soon as she walked into the yard, she shouted loudly.

"Hey! Mother, here it is! ”

A crisp female voice suddenly came from the room, and immediately, under the attention of everyone, I saw the rag door curtain suddenly lifted, and out of it came a slim young girl dressed in cloth, but out of it.

"This?"

Just at the first glance, Zhao Zheng was completely amazed by this woman!

This kind of feeling, at present, only Zhao Wan'er has ever given herself such an amazing feeling!

Although this girl is dressed very plainly, it shows off her innocence even more.

And she is extremely watery, fair-skinned, and even crystal clear, so that this rag linen shirt can't hide her amazing face at all!

No wonder, no wonder even the eldest sister-in-law made herself feel extraordinary, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Thinking about it, this sister-in-law must have been a beautiful woman when she was young, otherwise how could this daughter be so captivating and beautiful like a flower?

It's just that I didn't expect that among the farmers in the mountains, there would be such a first-class beauty who happened to meet her.

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but bow slightly, and suddenly sighed in his heart - fate, this is the legendary fate!

And this scene was seen by Zhao Long and Guan Fei, who were standing on the side, but they couldn't help but nod secretly, as if they understood something......

"Ping'er, go quickly, go and pour some water for the guests."

The eldest sister-in-law warmly beckoned everyone to sit down, and at the same time instructed her daughter.

"Okay, mother!"

Ping'er's face was red from the straight eyes of the guests, and after hearing the order, she hurriedly responded, and then slipped back into the house to pour water.

"Sister-in-law, what's the ...... in this family? It's just you and this sister? ”

After everyone sat down on a straw mat in the courtyard, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but say with some doubts.

Why has it been so long that I haven't seen the man in this house come out?

Could it be ...... This sister-in-law is still a pretty widow??

"Oh! Haven't you been renovating the official road recently? The son of the Ejia family and the two sons of E, they all went over there to sell coolies! ”

The eldest sister-in-law responded with a smile while dividing several pottery bowls and putting them on the table.

She didn't know what was going on, but the guest who spoke was the youngest, but she looked like the highest-ranking person among the guests.

"Huh? So this is the ...... Are you and your daughter left? ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but feel a little strange, just keeping such a beautiful wife and daughter at home, but the man could rest assured outside?

"Not anymore! There is also an old mother at home! On weekdays, the three of them stay at home, and they go home every two or three days. ”

Speaking of this, I didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but I saw that the eldest sister-in-law suddenly slapped her forehead, as if she had just remembered it.

"Oh yes! Count it over time...... They should be back today! ”

When Zhao Zhengwen heard this, he just smiled lightly, knowing in his heart that his sister-in-law was a little vigilant, but he didn't care, but continued to ask with a smile.

"In this case, can they make a lot of money by repairing the official road outside?"

"Making money?"

As soon as these words came out, it seemed to make the eldest sister-in-law a little stunned, only to see her ask a strange rhetorical question, and was about to speak, but only to see the delicate Ping'er suddenly walked out.

"Mother, the water is coming!"

Ping'er carried the kettle without difficulty, and began to pour water for the guests one by one, but in the corner of her eye, she felt the gaze of the red fruit, but her face suddenly turned a little red.

"This little guest...... There is no money for cultivating official roads! ”

Although the eldest sister-in-law was suddenly interrupted, she took advantage of her daughter's efforts to pour water for the guests, and then added what she had just said.

"Just give some food, one person will give two servings, and you can save a few days to bring some back home!"

Speaking of this, the eldest sister-in-law and Ping'er couldn't help but smile a little on their faces, as if they were already very satisfied with this.

"Huh? There is no money to give ...... But what are you doing there? ”

Zhao Zheng's heart moved, and he pretended to be puzzled and said deliberately.

"How can you say that? His Royal Highness King Qin treats them so well, even if they let them build roads for free, then it should be! ”

When the eldest sister-in-law heard this, she didn't seem to be a little happy, but said it as she should be.

"Oh? What else can be good about those princes and magnates? ”

Zhao Zheng waved his hand again and again as if he didn't believe it, but instead of thinking about it, Ping'er, who was pouring water, said urgently.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is different! It's not the same! It's different from other officials!! ”

"Cut, aren't all crows in the world generally black? What else can His Royal Highness King Qin be any different? ”

Zhao Zheng pursed his lips disdainfully, as if he was in disbelief.

And his expression, in the eyes of Zhao Yun, Zhao Long and Guan Fei on the side, almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and laughed on the spot!

"Hey! This little guest! You are guests from other places, I'm afraid you don't know about the recent changes in the Qin Kingdom, right? ”

The eldest sister-in-law shook her head with a smile, and after hearing this, she responded with a very understanding expression.

As soon as the words 'our Qin State' came out, Zhao Zheng's heart jumped, and even the others couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, and their expressions became rich at the moment.

But Zhao Zheng still stabilized his mind and continued to cooperate with his sister-in-law in acting.

"Huh? I've just entered Qinchuan...... But I don't know what kind of change has happened? ”

"If you want to say that the biggest change is the tax reform!"

Speaking of this, the sister-in-law couldn't stop smiling on her face.

"What? Taxation and forced labor have been the same since ancient times...... How can you say anything about restructuring? ”

Zhao Zheng was 'shocked' and said puzzled.

"You don't know about that! Since His Royal Highness King Qin came to power, the first major thing he has done is to relieve the victims, but I don't know how much food has been spent, and how many people have been saved in the Qin country! ”

After saying this, the eldest sister-in-law followed up and added.

"The second big thing in the next step is to reform the tax system! Now we are the people of Qin, but how many acres of land do we have at home to pay how much grain! If you don't have land at home, you don't have to pay at all! ”

When the sister-in-law said this, she couldn't help but laugh happily again.

"What? Impossible, right? Shouldn't all be taxed on a per capita basis? If you really change it like this, will those wealthy families be willing? ”

Zhao Zheng immediately shook his head, saying that he 'didn't believe it at all'.

"Hey! Of course they won't! But what kind of person is His Royal Highness King Qin? That's the savior sent by His Majesty the Holy Emperor to save the people of the Qin Kingdom! Those wealthy families...... Which one is not all obedient? ”

The eldest sister-in-law suddenly straightened up as she spoke, and there were waves for a while, but the eyes of Zhao Zheng, Zhao Long, and Guan Fei were a little straight.

"Ahem...... If that's the case, wouldn't your days be much better? ”

Zhao Zheng forcibly gathered his mind, coughed slightly to hide his embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic.

"Not really! Your family now has two acres of land, and they only need to pay two acres of land tax! If the original six members of the family paid the tax according to the capitation, how could these two acres of land be supported? It's a starving person! ”

Speaking of this, the eldest sister-in-law couldn't help but shake her head and sighed with emotion.

"Now not only is there less tax paid, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin is also building a lot of construction and calling young people to open roads and repair canals, which is what it used to be...... It must be to be a free laborer, it would be good to be able to give you something to eat, how can there be any extra to take home? ”

For a while, the dilapidated courtyard was quiet, but everyone was attentive and listened to the heartfelt complaint of this ordinary peasant woman.

"At that time...... But I really don't have enough to eat, and I don't dare to encounter the slightest famine, then I will really starve to death......"

As soon as these words came out, even Ping'er, who was standing obediently on the side, couldn't help but be stunned, as if she recalled the miserable life in the past.

At that time, the family always ate the last meal but not the next meal, and the two acres of land at home could not be supported at all, so the mother could only farm the land, and the father and brothers went to the big family to work long hours in exchange for some food, which could barely pull a few of them to grow up.

But now, everything is different......

"Back then...... The most feared thing is to have a baby! Once there are multiple children, the family not only has to raise an extra mouth, but also pay an extra tax! So, who in the village dares to have children indiscriminately? If it is true, you can only cover it up and throw it in the field, otherwise the whole family will starve to death......"

Hearing this, everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but be silent.

Almost invariably, in the eyes of Zhao Zheng and the four of them, the scene when they first entered Qinchuan appeared.

And the dead babies were piled up all over the valley......

Just ask the world, who can bear to cover their own flesh and blood with their own hands?

If it's really not that you can't live, it's really not that you can't do it, who can really do it? ?

"It's like this time, the forehead is the same as the forehead...... I'm still getting ready for another doll! ”

As she spoke, the sister-in-law couldn't help but smile shyly, but everyone laughed in unison.

"Sister-in-law, then according to what you say, your Royal Highness the King of Qin...... Is there really no drawbacks at all? ”

After laughing, Zhao Zheng seemed to be not satisfied enough, and continued to ask at the moment.

"That's it! Who is His Royal Highness King Qin? That's a savior from God! ”

The sister-in-law nodded as she spoke, as if her mouth and words alone were no longer enough to express the excitement in her heart!

"Gentlemen of Qin, the most beloved one now is His Royal Highness the King of Qin! It's him! It gives us the hope of the people of Qin to live! Let's live a good life!! ”

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and the sister-in-law hurriedly followed suit.

"I heard that, His Royal Highness King Qin is still living in the old county mansion now! His Royal Highness King Qin worked day and night for the forehead, and he didn't even have time to build his own palace! ”

Speaking of which, the eldest sister-in-law was a few shots, and she said excitedly on the spot!

"If so, when will His Royal Highness King Qin build the palace! The forehead must be called the forehead! Go and build a palace for His Royal Highness King Qin! Don't want money! Even if you give you money, you won't ask for it! Everyone, Qin people, if anyone dares to take this money! That's going to be poked in the back by the villagers......"

When it comes to His Royal Highness King Qin, the eldest sister-in-law seems to be full of interest, but it is like a cannon, and she talks endlessly from beginning to end, and she has no intention of stopping at all.

And Zhao Zheng, Zhao Yun, Zhao Long, and Guan Fei sat quietly in place, silently listening to the chatter of this ordinary woman, but they didn't want to interrupt at all, let alone feel any noise.

Among the four people, especially Zhao Zheng himself, listened in a daze, the eldest sister-in-law took a bite of 'His Royal Highness the King of Qin', and a mouthful of 'His Royal Highness the King of Qin', and a mouthful of 'people from the Qin Kingdom', and she only felt mixed feelings in her heart......

He just looked at his sister-in-law blankly and listened to these very true words.

All of a sudden, I suddenly felt that my eyes were moist, and I almost burst into tears on the spot......

At this moment, he only felt.

All the efforts he has made since entering Qin have been worth it......

This group of people of Qin is really the loveliest people in the world......
