This Sun family is also miserable, her husband died early, and she finally pulled a pair of children until her daughter got married smoothly, her son married a daughter-in-law, and she gave birth to a granddaughter a few years ago.

It's just that a year later, the bad news came, the daughter-in-law had a difficult birth during childbirth and died on the delivery bed, and both mother and son died, which hit their family hard.

This year, I haven't saved enough money for my son to continue the incense for my son to renew his wife, and I met this damn Zhengding, despite the fact that there was only one male in her grandson's family, and it was not enough to accept the silver that was supposed to marry a daughter-in-law, and finally forcibly requisitioned him away, leaving only their grandparents and grandchildren to rely on each other.

With Sun's current physical strength, it is already the limit to be able to plant these four acres of rice, and this is only the result of his daughter secretly coming to help.

She usually barely can toss these acres of land, so it is unrealistic for her to harvest grain.

At first, she wanted to plant it herself, and when it was ripe, she would hire someone to come over to harvest the grain, and she would save herself from giving the land to others, after all, her family's land was not much, and if she only collected some rent, she would not be able to support her grandparents and grandchildren.

Grow it yourself, although it is harder, and in the end you have to give a lot of labor costs, but it is better than just collecting rent.

As a result, I couldn't find a valley guest this year, so I could only watch the grain grow in the ground and not be able to get it back.

Xue Langjing had already learned from the aunt of the Liu family that the reason why the village couldn't recruit Gu guests was because those homeless people who had no land were recruited by their own family, so they were afraid that they would be hated to death, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask the Sun family, "Grandma Sun, this Xue family has recruited all the displaced people, resulting in you not being able to recruit valley customers, and you have to lose so much food, this big guy can't hate the Xue family to death?" ”

She never thought that she would be able to harm the interests of so many people by recruiting some homeless people at home.

Aren't they doing a good thing? How can it hurt people! Xue Langjing couldn't figure it out.

However, her idea was quickly overturned.

I heard the Sun family who was burning the fire in front of the stove sighed, "How can there be anything to hate or not hate, and people haven't done anything hurtful, besides, I don't know how many people thank the Xue family, where can they hate!" ”

"Oh? How can you say this, how can you thank others because they can't recruit labor? Xue Langjing was even more puzzled.

Of course, it's always good for her to have more people thanking her.

Sun shook his head and said with emotion, "I can't say enough to say this." ”

How complicated could things be?

Her words made Xue Langjing even more curious, especially about things related to her own family, so she told her, "Then grandma, tell me about it." ”

Seeing that this girl was so eager to learn, and it was rare for someone to talk to her, Sun said it.

"Actually, when it comes to this matter, in the final analysis, it's still a poor word!"

"Uh-huh", Xue Langjing nodded thoughtfully, they are ordinary people who have a hard time, isn't it because they are poor.

As he chatted with her, Sun seemed to think of the past, "I think that at the beginning, people like us who still had at least a few acres of land in their families could barely survive."

The worst thing is that those who don't have any land at home, or who have a lot of people and don't have enough land, and there is not much left after paying the taxes on the grain they grow, and they don't have enough to eat at all, so they can only give up everything to become homeless. ”

This Xue Langjing knew that it was all the tax damage of that person.

I also heard Sun's words, "But these people are all displaced people, so naturally their household registration will be abolished, and if they don't occupy their household registration, they don't need to be conscripted. ”

Speaking of this, Sun sighed heavily.

Thinking about it, if you don't recruit him, you can only recruit you, Xue Langjing also sighed in his heart.

Fortunately, my family does not have to be recruited, my father and uncle have passed the age of recruitment, and the two brothers-in-law are recruited, and they are not in the ranks of recruitment.

After all, the people who recruit money generally have no men in the family, and if the court even recruits other people's sons-in-law, doing this kind of angry thing may really cause public anger.

"It's okay if it's just like this, no matter how many people there are, it will be a minority, and the other people will not share it much."

"So what is the reason for that?" Xue Langjing couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, it's also unfortunate for our people, anti-thief uprisings have continued in various places over the years", speaking of this, I saw Tang sneering, "Heh, say it's anti-thieves, but who doesn't know that they are all desperate outcasts, if they can really eat enough, who wants to do this kind of head-killing thing, isn't it good to live?" He asked her.

Although she didn't know how an old lady could know so many big things, she asked herself, and Xue Langjing naturally nodded in agreement.

"That's not all, in the entire Chu country, there are even more rogues and bandits. If you want to suppress so many bandits, you don't need a lot of troops? ”

That makes sense, but...

"But hasn't it been like this all these years, although the amount of levies is indeed a lot larger, why is it suddenly increasing this year?"

Sun sighed even more, "Alas, I can only say that our Da Chu has not been in a good year, and he has so many things to do, and the border is not peaceful."

In the past, it was just a constant friction with the Fanbang country, but since the beginning of the year, the Wei State, the most powerful country in the Fanbang country, has been constantly attacking us, and it is particularly fierce, so the imperial court has to recruit a large number of Dingna.

It's really, even those of us who only have one male have to be recruited, and they are not afraid of being damned! ”

Perhaps thinking of his son, the more Sun said it, the more angry he became.

Xue Langjing was afraid that she would say something sad, so she quickly changed the topic, "Grandma Sun, how do you know so many things, we don't know this." ”

"Where does my wife want to know this, I still wish I didn't know anything, I only knew that our Chu country was peaceful and peaceful. Didn't you send people from above to publicize it door-to-door, so that you could recruit all our men away? ”

"Well", I see, she is lonely.

It's also strange that she has only known hunting every day in the past few years, and then she just reads and learns calligraphy and practices martial arts, and she really doesn't have much time to care about these so-called family and country affairs, resulting in her being a good person who is also a scholar and not known much to the old lady of the family.

"And then?"

"And then? It turned out that our life was better than those homeless, but we were recruited so many soldiers, and there was less labor at home, so life became more and more difficult.

But the people who became homeless people are the opposite, isn't this a Xue family in our county, they want to plant so much land, they have to recruit a large number of people, and the homeless homeless people naturally go to the Xue family. ”

Speaking of this, there was a faint look of envy in Sun's eyes.
