Chapter 579: Conscription

Mama Tao has been with Gu Jinli for more than ten days, and she already knows the temper of this little owner, and when she heard her nondescript words, she didn't feel inappropriate, but laughed, and sighed with emotion: "Xiaoliu is a heavy love, after so many years, if he were another man, he would have married a wife and had children, but he remembered his promise and waited for his son." ”

Aunt Hong's name is Hong Sui.

The two were talking, and Sanqi came over to Mama Tao with a bottle: "Mama, we have run out of pearl powder to make scar removal cream, come and get half a catty." ”

Sanqi, like Mai Dong, used to be a medicine boy in the Hanging Pot Workshop, but he was more stable and didn't talk much, so he followed Kan Liu to make scar removal cream, and it is estimated that he will take over the matter of making scar removal cream in the future.

Mai Dong is more lively, following Mutong, he may take Mutong's class in the future.

After hearing this, Mama Tao took out a booklet, wrote down how much pearl powder he came to get on what day, when he came, and what he did with it, and then asked him to press his handprint.

This is the management method after Mama Tao came, and everyone in the pharmaceutical workshop should do this, in order to be able to check and have evidence.

After Sanqi pressed the handprint, Mama Tao inquired about Gu Jinli, got up and went to the medicine cabinet in the house to get half a catty of pearl powder for Sanqi.

Before leaving, Gu Jinli asked Sanqi: "How is Uncle Sixth today?" Still stupid? ”

Sanqi is a smart person, he is not very old, and he is familiar with Gu Jinli again, and he smiled when he heard this: "Silly, the day before yesterday, I was stunned and almost got through the scar removal cream." ”

Gu Jinli listened anxiously: "This is not good, the cost of a pot of scar removal cream is twenty taels at least, and if it is broken, it will be a loss." ”

Sanqi said: "Don't worry, I will watch Uncle Xiaoliu and won't let him make any more mistakes." ”

I was afraid that Gu Jinli would blame Kan Liu, so I hurriedly said: "It's much better today, but I was stunned for a while and smashed a clay pot." ”

Clay pots also cost money.

Gu Jinli thought: "This is not a way, we have to let Uncle Kan Liu's wish come true as soon as possible." ”

Sanqi looked at Gu Jinli, what does the little proprietor know? I wanted to ask, but Kan Liu had already found it, and after seeing Sanqi, he said, "Sanqi, why are you so slow to get a pearl powder?" Hurry up and take it back, sift the pearl powder twice, and I'll wait to use it. ”

"Huh." Sanqi hurriedly took the pearl powder and ran away.

Gu Jinli saw Kan Liu, smiled, laughed so hard that Kan Liu's hair was furious, and hurriedly asked, "Little, little boss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Jinli trotted in front of Kan Liu, raised his head and asked, "Uncle Xiaoliu, do you want me to help you marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Bang, Kan Liu's old face was so red that it was dripping blood, and he stammered: "No, no, no...... Uncle Six, Six, Six, can do it. ”

Gu Jinli: "What can you do, you stutter when you speak, how can you marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Kan Liu shook his head and insisted: "Thank you Xiaodong, but I can do this myself." ”

I didn't even stutter!

Gu Jinli looked at Kan Liu, thinking of Aunt Hong combing the woman's hairstyle, and thinking that Aunt Hong must have encountered something over the years, so after seeing Uncle Xiaoliu again, she didn't immediately continue the front edge.

"Okay." Gu Jinli agreed, and encouraged: "Little Sixth Uncle, come on, you will definitely be able to do it, the infatuated man will definitely not be disappointed." ”

Come on?

Kan Liu thought that the oil was very expensive, and he had to save a little for stir-frying, and he couldn't afford it, but he knew that Gu Jinli was kind, and said with a smile: "Well, don't worry, Uncle Xiaoliu won't let you down." ”

After speaking, he nodded at Mama Tao and turned to leave.

Mama Tao looked at Gu Jinli and shook her head with a smile...... Old Man Wu is right, this girl is interesting, and she won't be bored with her.

With the addition of Mama Tao's group, the production speed of the pharmaceutical workshop has been accelerated a lot, and the 20,000 bottles of tooth powder for Yuanzi Medicine Store have been made in less than ten days.

Gu Jinli asked Ah Shi and them to continue to make tooth powder: "This thing must be easy to sell, make more preparations, lest we not be able to take out the goods when the source word medicine store takes a large number of goods." ”

"Huh." Ah Shi is very happy, and he is busy with tooth powder every day.

The big year is also too happy, the little owner reuses his sister-in-law, and the future of the sister must not be worried, he is happy, and he works hard a lot when he works and learns martial arts.

Time passed day by day, and at the end of September, the government issued an official document that set off for conscription on the eighth day of October, for two months, and returned home for the New Year on the tenth day of December.

When the villages knew that they were going to serve in the conscription again, they all became sad, and some of the families wept bitterly because of the sale of men in Zou County, for fear that the men in their own family would be sold or die on the construction site.

Conscription is the recruitment of people to work for the government for free, or digging canals, or building city walls, in short, it is a drudgery that can exhaust people's lives.

Xu Xianling knew that the people were very resistant to serving because of the sale of men in Zou County, for fear that the people would make trouble, so he sent scribes and officials to come, and explained to the peasants one village after another, that the place to go back to serve the servants was in Linhe Mansion, and it was to clean up the mud of Huaishui, and the place was close.

The work is tired, and it is possible to be swept into the Huaishui and die, but the place is close, unlike before, the place where you go is far away, and the body cannot be transported back if you die in the place of servitude.

This time, I was able to give Tianfu County such a close place, but it was because of Zou County's affairs. The court felt that they had to be appeased, otherwise they would have to go to Zhongzhou to repair the city wall.

When Gu Jinli heard this, he frowned and wondered, "Why didn't the imperial court directly exempt Tianfu County from forced labor this time?" ”

Zou County Cheng made such a big fuss, but if Emperor Chu was smarter, he should have directly exempted Tianfu County's conscription, and the idea of charity was not a loss for the imperial court, but it could subdue the gratitude of the people, but the imperial court did not do it.

Gu Jinan said: "When I corresponded with Brother Zheng and Brother Shangguan, they mentioned that some ministers in the imperial court advocated the removal of Tianfu County from forced labor this time, but some ministers disagreed. It is said that due to the military disaster in the past few months, the walls of many cities have been smashed by the victims, and this time the work of conscription is heavier than before, and there is no need to reduce the number of people. ”

"And if you don't want to serve in the conscription this time, you need to give twice as much silver as in previous years, and you have to pay ten taels of silver per person...... I heard that there may also be a poll tax. ”

Gu Jinli: "......"

Da Chu, this is going to be over.

Ten taels of silver can top a place for conscription, do the people of the imperial court know how much money these ten taels of silver is for ordinary peasant families?

Jianghuai and Jiangnan can grow rice, it is a famous rich land, but the farmers can have a dozen taels of silver for a year, not to mention the northwest, Zhongzhou, Northeast and other places, those are barren and bitter cold places, a family is tired and tired to live for a year can not save five taels of silver.

Gu Jinan sighed: "Brother Zheng and Brother Shangguan also feel that the imperial court has passed, and the elders of Shangguan Pavilion have been persuading for a long time but they have not been able to make Emperor Chu dispel his mind. ”

Brother Zheng had a good relationship with him and revealed two words to him: lack of silver.

After two years of drought in the northwest of Great Chu, and another military disaster, the treasury has long been empty, and the Chu Emperor is now searching for silver everywhere. What worries Brother Zheng even more is that some people pry on Emperor Chu, saying that the wealthy family has accumulated wealth for hundreds or thousands of years, and they should contribute to the country at this moment.

If Emperor Chu is really moved, Great Chu will be bloody again.

There is no need for the Zheng family to follow the official family, they are relatives of the emperor, but other wealthy families are not so lucky.
