Although money and food are precious, they are outside the body after all.

When the grain is gone, you can plant it again, and when you run out of money, you can earn it again. If this man is gone, then he will never come back.

With the first one to speak, others also became bold.

Li Yu's two eyebrows wrinkled into a ball:

"If they all use money and food to replace them, I'm afraid it's a lot."

Li Tong also nodded approvingly:

"That's not it, there are so many young people in our family."

The Great Chu Dynasty stipulated that a man should be fifteen years old.

From the age of 15 to 60, they belong to the Ding and not only pay the Ding tax and bear the conscription, but also have to serve in the military during the war.

Li Jingfu, the first generation of the old Li family, just stepped on the threshold of sixty years old this year.

Whether it can be exempted or not is still between the two.

In the second generation, from Li Huai to Li Tong, the five brothers are all in the list.

In the third generation, the eldest Li Xiwen is the same age as the uncle and has reached the age of twenty.

Erlang Li Xiren is eighteen years old. San Lang Li Xiyi is also sixteen.

In this way, Lao Li's family has a total of nine adults.

With so many people, if they want to be exempted from taxation by paying money alone, they must spend a lot of silver.

Li Jingfu was full of sorrow.

Unconsciously, I filled myself with a bag of cigarettes and lit a fire with my own hands.

"Let's click", "Let's click", one bite at a time, smoked.

Compared with silver, Li Jingfu felt more sorry for his son.

But my own situation is clear to my own family.

Rao is Qiao Ximei has been frugal and budget-conscious, and a copper plate is eager to be broken into an eight-petal flower...... But I don't have that much money at home.

Over the years, he bought a field for his family, built a house, married a daughter, married a daughter-in-law for his five sons, and then provided them with babies and raised babies......

Which thing, isn't the old couple paying for it?

If you just count on the income from the little money in the field, I am afraid that you will not be able to do any of these things!

Living at home, what one thing doesn't cost money?

Over the years, he and Qiao Ximei have almost filled in the silver money they brought out of their hometown and the money they got on the way to escape from the famine.

Now, even if he smashes a handful of old bones, he can't get out so much oil and water!

Even if the old couple can really get out of the rest of their lives, they are willing to empty out all the rest of their ideas, and they can make up enough money to be exempted from taxation for nine adults.

Besides, even if they are bankrupt and the top and bottom points are in place, they can barely fool the things of this trip.

And what about the next trip?

Who can say for sure that there is such a thing as a war? Who can guarantee that people will be able to finish the job with only one recruitment?

But if you don't use the money to make a point, and directly let the officials and soldiers pull people away......

These sons have meat on the palms and backs of their hands.

When you are a father and mother, you have to have a bowl of water!

This soldiering involves the life of the family.

It's not a small thing, if you eat more meat, he will plant one less ridge of land.

Who will go and who will not when the time comes?

How to serve this bowl of water so that it can be flat?

The more Li Jingfu thought about it, the more worried he became.

While swallowing clouds and spitting fog, he sighed.

Soon, dark blue smoke filled the room.

The faces of the people were also blurred in the smoke, and their expressions were unknown.

The family discussed for a long time, but still did not come to any useful conclusions.

Qiao Ximei got up and pushed the window open, dissipating the smell of smoke, and then said:

"Boss, it's been more than two years since you moved to town, right?"

When Li Huai heard this, his heart trembled.

Since he learned that this trip to the family not only brought him a letter, but also delivered a message to his two sisters, he didn't think about it lightly.

It is said that this kind of conscription, what can it have to do with Li Tao and Li Mei, the two married girls?

The old lady actually found them!

Figure what?

I'm afraid that in addition to inquiring about the news, I want my sisters to pay for money!

The two sisters, as married daughters, did not avoid this errand. As the eldest son who will inherit the family business in the future, how can he stay out of it?

But in a hurry, under Qiao Ximei's aggressive gaze, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of any useful ideas.

Qiao Ximei looked at Li Huai's cold sweat, and she was not disappointed.

However, she still waited quietly for Li Huai's reply.

Li Jingfu is not as patient as Qiao Ximei.

Originally, he was worried about this conscription order, and when he was anxious, his temper naturally became even more rushed:

"Boss, your mother asked you! Why don't you squeak? Are you deaf? ”

Li Huai realized that he had forgotten to answer his mother's question, and he was still distracted in front of a large family.

He raised his hand and touched the sweat on his head, making an excuse for himself:

"Maybe the wind was blowing on the way here, and since the moment I finished eating, my head was dizzy, and it was a while. Mother, what did you just tell me? ”

Li Huai knew in his heart that his father and mother were actually very partial to themselves.

He has used this trick countless times, almost a hundred times.

Every time he expressed his discomfort in front of his parents, he could immediately get a lot of care.

Unfortunately, this time he was doomed to disappointment.

Qiao Ximei saw his self-righteous appearance, changed the gentle and considerate that only he and the fifth child usually had the opportunity to enjoy, and said in a cold voice:

"It's windy?! Nothing serious. Go back and let your second brother and sister stew a pot of ginger soup for you to drink. It's good to cover your sweat after drinking. ”

After speaking, he asked Nie to go to the big kitchen to stew ginger soup.

Nie got up obediently, and Li Huai hurriedly stopped:

"Second brother and sister! You don't have to toss, I'm not uncomfortable now. ”

Li Huai: Woo woo, my mother doesn't hurt me anymore!

Just the ginger soup that Nie boiled, that smell, who can stand it?

Good people have to drink something wrong!

Qiao Ximei: Little one, I can't cure you yet!

Qiao Ximei lifted her eyelids and glanced at Li Huai, Li Huai suddenly felt that a layer of goosebumps had on her back.

Qiao Ximei patiently asked again:

"Boss, you've been living in town for more than two years, haven't you?"

Li Huai didn't dare to play tricks anymore, nodded and admitted:

"Well, by the end of this month, it will be three years old."

Qiao Ximei smiled with satisfaction:

"It's been three years. I've been in town for so long, and I haven't made any money, have I? ”

Li Huai knew that Qiao Ximei had to raise money.

But he wasn't quite sure what he meant, for fear that Qiao Ximei would ask him to pay for it, so he had to vaguely:

"Well, that's it."

Qiao Ximei continued to say to herself:

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

This person is old, and he likes to have a full house of children and grandchildren, and to be reunited.

Your family lives in the town, and you spend a lot of money.

Since you don't make money, it's better to move back to live in the tunzi, so that your mother can see you more.

This conscription, I don't know how many of your brothers are going to be recruited.

When the time comes, the house will be deserted.

Your mother and I are old, and I can't stand this the most.

You go back to your mother, so that you can spend a few days with your mother for a few days of reunion.

Hurry up or don't rush late, you can pack up tomorrow and move back directly.

In the future, you will be with your father and brothers, and you will stay at home and farm the land in a down-to-earth manner. ”
