"That can't drive people away," Mrs. Jiang didn't want to listen to her daughter's explanation at all, "Let people know, who dares to come to your house." ”

Stinky girl, just owe a lesson.

Mrs. Jiang took a breath and chased after her broom with a broom.

Seeing this, Jiang Nuan resolutely ran out and sought refuge from the second elder of the Huang family.

After Jiang Nuan left, Mrs. Jiang gasped and sat on the small stool, "Stinky girl, I'm getting more and more ignorant." ”

She retracted her words from last night.

Her girl has a stinky temperament like something in the pit, not to mention fifty taels, five hundred taels is not enough to buy a coffin.

This terrible girl, can you throw it away?

Mrs. Jiang was decadent, her eyes kept rolling, thinking about how to transform her daughter.

"Mother," Jiang Xu walked over, "I'm going home, you two really don't want to go back with me?" ”

"You're not gone yet?" Mrs. Jiang glanced at her son in surprise, "You go back by yourself, leave us alone, by the way, come over with some food in two days, your sister's family has no food." ”

"Mother, you can go back with me," Jiang Xu was a little crazy, "Spring ploughing will start soon, don't make a mess for the eldest sister?" ”

The burden of the three people is not small, Jiang Nuan has so much food, Jiang Xu really doesn't want to burden her anymore.

"Don't worry blindly," Mrs. Jiang knew what her son was thinking, and took out the five taels of silver that had not yet warmed up, "Your sister respects me, you take it first, plough in the spring, add some farm tools to the family, and the rest will be used for our family's spring conscription." ”

"Such a big piece, there are four or five taels of silver," Jiang Xu took the silver, bit it with his teeth, and after confirming that it was true, he smiled stupidly, "It's actually true!" ”

The appearance of the idiot made Mrs. Jiang disgusted, "Hurry up, don't be an eyesore here." ”

The impatient expression was the same as when Jiang Nuan drove people away.

"Mother," Jiang Xu held the silver in his palm and asked suspiciously, "Why does my sister have so much money?" ”

"Ask so much what to do, hurry back!"

was driven out again, and Jiang Xu hung his head and left.

On the other side, Jiang Nuan arrived at Father Huang, and the hall was solemn.

Seeing Jiang Nuan, Mrs. Jiang pulled out a very reluctant smile, "Yaya is here, sit down, eldest daughter-in-law, make some brown sugar water for Yaya to drink." ”

"Don't be busy, I'm not thirsty," Jiang Nuan looked around curiously, "Daddy, what's wrong, I see that you are very unhappy." ”

Village Chief Huang looked at Father Huang before he opened his mouth to explain, "Our family just sent away the village chief of Qujia Village, and he revealed the news that this year's conscription may be aggravated. ”

"Aggravated conscription?" Jiang Nuan was stunned, "What kind of aggravation method?" Is it more people or more time? ”

"More time," Village Chief Huang said with an ugly face, "Our spring conscription is mainly to repair the river embankment. This year, in addition to the river embankment, a section of official road will be added. ”

"The levy of conscription must follow the law, how can it be suddenly changed?" Jiang Nuan was puzzled, "The official documents haven't come down yet, is this news reliable?" ”

"How is it unreliable," Sister-in-law Huang said with a bitter face, "There are people in Qujia Village who work as officials in the county government, and it seems that this year is not very easy." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, it's really not good, let's offset it with silver, there will always be a way."

"That's the only way," Sister-in-law Huang's face softened, "Fortunately, I saved some silver last year, and I can offset the forced labor, otherwise I will suffer more!" ”

Serving as a conscriptor is a hard work, and you have to bring your own dry food.

Now she just wants the place to be closer this time, so that the future students in the village can finally live at home to fill up some oil and water.

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Nuan spoke, "Dad, big brother, this official road was just added this year?" Or was it there before? ”

"Our official road has to be repaired every year, but it was autumn," Father Jiang was also confused, "It's been decades, and it's the first time to cultivate the official road in spring, and I don't know what those official masters think." ”

"That's it," Jiang Nuan thought about it, and didn't have a clue, "The above ideas are not something that we ordinary people can figure out, just do our own thing." ”

"That's right, just do your own thing." Daddy Huang agreed.

After laughing for a while, the topic was revealed, but the haze remained in my heart.

Jiang Nuan returned to his home with a heavy heart.

Today's events gave her a sense of crisis.

She originally wanted to make more money to buy land and become a squire, but now she found out that there was no one at home who was a scholar, so she was not insured after all.

Even if the landlord is in the second place, he is a powerless ordinary person after all.

Usually have nothing to do and can live smoothly, but once something happens, it is too passive.

"I still have to send them to school."

Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan immediately brought the three brothers of the Huang family over.

"Boss," Jiang Nuan took out thirty taels of silver, "you take the second and third children to the county seat, buy an ox cart and a few clay pots, buy two apprenticeship gifts, and send the fourth and little fat to the school." ”

Hearing this, the faces of the three brothers changed greatly.

"Mother, both of them are sent to the academy?" Huang Lao Er was speechless, "How much money is this?" ”

"Send them first, you learn from me first," Jiang Nuan waved his hand, "After the autumn harvest at the latest, the three of you will also go, and wait for next year, and send the big cow over." ”

This big deal, Huang Xiaosan was stunned.

"Mother, isn't it the same what you teach us? Don't waste money! ”

"How is that the same," Jiang Nuan glanced at his son, "I am a woman, and I have read two books, and I can barely read and write, how can I compare to a serious gentleman." ”

"Mother," Huang Lao Er asked suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?" ”

Jiang Nuan told the news he heard and sighed lightly, "Don't think that the affairs of the imperial court have nothing to do with our ordinary people, it really has to do with it, we don't even have a chance to resist." ”

Just like this tax increase, the optimism is that it is occasional, and who knows if it will be just the beginning.

Since ancient times, the imperial court has given preferential treatment to scholars, and there is a scholar at home, which has more or less a layer of security.

"Mother, our family reads so much," Huang Xiaosi frowned and pondered, "Why don't you just open a private school, so that it can also benefit the township." ”

"That's a good idea," Jiang Nuan patted his son's shoulder, "It's a pity that our family doesn't have that much money." ”

No, Jiang Nuan's eyes rolled, his index finger against his chin, and he seriously thought about the possibility of opening a school by himself.

Even if a school is blue bricks and red tiles, the material cost is less than twenty taels of silver.

With a father and eldest brother here, the land is also very appropriated, so the focus is on the selection of the master.

You can't find an old sour man who is too rigid, and you can't find a nerd who is not solid in knowledge.

That's hard!

"That's it," Jiang Nuan gritted his teeth and spoke, "Boss, second, third, I have decided to build a school in the village!" ”

"Mother," Boss Huang was shocked and stumbled, "You, are you sure, you really want to do this?" ”
