Seeing that no one was squeaking in the room, Qi Renming cleared his throat and said loudly; "Buxiu started to help with housework at the age of six or seven, and helped work in the fields when he was less than ten years old. Look at the second step of the old man, he was sick since he was a child, and he didn't earn a penny for the family until he split up, so he not only took the family's money to take his daughter-in-law, but also divided the family property. ”

"And the old Sanbuyou, who is eleven years old, what contribution can he have to the family? He is Bu Shuigui's son, and Bu Xiu doesn't need to help raise his younger brother, right? ”

"So, I think this is how it should be. Of the remaining four large tiled houses, it's not too much for the boss to ask for two, right? There are three buffaloes, the eldest has two, there are twenty-seven taels at home, and the eldest family has seventeen taels ......"

This division suddenly made the entire ancestral hall buzz, and many people were upset about Mu Ne's step water, and they started to talk about it.

A few clan brothers who had a good relationship with Bu Shuigui stood up and just wanted to say something. Qi Renming shouted loudly; "What's the noise, is it your family? The victim himself has not yet spoken. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Bu Shuigui, who bowed his head and didn't speak, and said; "If you have any opinions about the division I just made, or if you are not convinced, then follow me to the county office, say it in front of the county master, and see who the county master thinks is reasonable."

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the ancestral hall stopped talking.

"Go and tell the county master, the county master will definitely help him, after all, he is his old friend's little teacher, and the relationship is complicated." Bu Ru walked to Jiang Yi's side at this time and said with a bitter face.

Regarding Qi Renming's martial arts, Bu Ru, a childish young man, couldn't speak, after all, he was also a person who had never seen the world.

"How?"

Bu Ru whispered; "If a scholar wants to take the Xiucai exam, he has to go through a total of three exams, namely the county exam in the county, the government exam and the hospital exam in the state capital.

"First of all, the county exam is the main examination of the county master, and the reader of the exam must have a show to guarantee that he will not cheat or anything before he can enter the exam. Therefore, everyone who is admitted to the Xiucai examination will worship the county master who admits them, and the prefect is the small teacher. ”

"Although Qi Renming was a Xiucai in the examination a few years ago, his small teacher had already been transferred, but when he vouched for other scholars this year, one of them actually won the first place in the exam, which was the first place in Xiucai, and the county master attaches great importance to this case, you said that if you go to the county master, do we have it?"

"I see," although Jiang Yi traveled back in later generations and knew a little bit about everything, compared to the contemporary natives, these things were really not as good as them.

The step mother standing next to her sighed and sighed; "Ru'er, my mother didn't support you to study in the past, thinking that reading was useless, but because you were in poor health and couldn't help the work in the field at home, I let you go to a private school for three years. Now that you have a family, your daughter-in-law is good, and she is for you to study, then you should work hard, take a show before coming back, and don't be bullied like now. ”

Bu Shuigui, who was standing not far away, also heard these words, his face was depressed at this time, his face was haggard, as if he was a few years old, and he also turned back; "Yes, you study hard, otherwise you will be bullied like you and me in the future. Now that this family is divided, no one will bother us in the future, I will go out, work hard with your mother, and let Buyou go to study. ”

The family was finally divided, and Qi Renming and Qi walked out of the ancestral hall with their toes high, like victorious generals.

Jiang Yi and Buru sent their parents-in-law home and went home.

After the Lantern Festival, spring is approaching, the south is rejuvenating quickly, and as soon as the sun comes out, the weather is warm.

Because the goods are becoming more and more complete, the prices are fair, and the ox carts are replenished quickly, many of the things needed in the village can be bought in the small shops.

The business of the small grocery department is getting better and better.

There are some things that everyone is accustomed to from time to time, but once they have them, Jiang Yi's shop is now indispensable to the people in the village.

The profit of the store is about forty or fifty copper per day, and the profit of ox cart transportation is more than 100 copper per day, and the net profit added up is very considerable. In just over ten days after the New Year, there was an extra deposit of two taels, plus a wave of income from both grocery stores and ox cart businesses that reached their peak before the New Year, Jiang Yi almost had five taels of cash in his hands.

Although it is not the richest in the village, it is definitely the one with the fastest growing wealth in the village.

"I believe that it won't be long before my family can become the richest man in the village." A thought popped up in Jiang Yi's heart.

But becoming the richest man in the village is not her ultimate goal.

Her dream is the sea of stars.

In fact, the daily income has increased, but the expenses have also been relatively large.

Not to mention anything else, the cost of a single step Confucian's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the cost of visiting and consulting Zhao Fuzi are all a lot of expenses.

However, Jiang Yi feels that the investment is worth it.

She stood up in the yellow mud behind the house and looked into the distance.

Because it had just rained, the loess was muddy, and I was full of joy when I looked at the seedlings in the soil facing the wind.

This is a bag of sweet potato seedlings that she bought in the town last year, and she buried them in the moist sand some time ago to grow the seedlings, and then cut them into sections according to the seedlings, and just planted them in the ground today.

After this thing is planted, there will be more food in the future, sweet potato syrup, dried sweet potato, and sweet potato rice are all very delicious.

This thing is rarely eaten in later generations, but she remembers that when she was a child, when the village was relatively poor, many villagers still regarded sweet potatoes as a staple food, or the main auxiliary food, not to mention that it is now a few hundred years ago when food was relatively scarce.

With this thing, it can enrich the people's dining table, and it can also save lives in disaster years.

"Second family, what did you plant here?"

There was a man squatting next to the room, holding a hoe in one hand, carefully looking at the plants with tender shoots in the soil, and asked curiously.

It turned out that the step water was expensive.

"Dad, when are you here?"

"Come and see if you don't have anything to do, the second child and you won't grow anything, I'm looking for death in this land, you are also barren, and I plan to plant something for your family."

Since the separation, the family has less land, and the Bushui Gui couple has been idle.

Jiang Yi walked over on the muddy loess, and the straw sandals under her feet stuck to a large piece of yellow mud, which was a lot heavier.

"This is a sweet potato, also called a sweet potato, which came from outside, and I heard that it is very productive, and there can be more than 2,000 catties per mu."

"What? More than 2,000 catties per mu? Bu Shuigui's face was surprised.

"You're not deceiving, are you?" He had been fighting with the fields all his life, and he had never heard of anything with such a high yield.

In fact, she said that 2,000 catties is still a conservative estimate, and I remember that when I was a child, the village planted more than this number, more than 3,000 or 4,000 catties, and even 5,000 catties per mu of good varieties.
