Steward Cai didn't think about it: "This Qian always knows my nobles, so I will invite them to come over to entertain them, they come here this time for official business, and they don't have time to come often, besides, they live in the county government, and it is inconvenient to come!" ”

Speaking of this, Steward Cai beckoned to Tong Shuangxi and the others, and whispered: "Those who come in a few days are the real nobles!" ”

"Shouldn't a real nobleman also live in the county office? Is it possible to live in our shed? Tong Shuangxi asked if he didn't understand.

Steward Cai shut up suddenly, looked at Tong Shuangxi and a few people in front of him, thought about it, looked around again, and saw that there was indeed no one in the kitchen, so he whispered: "It's okay for Lao Lu to live in the shack, these nobles are all from the palace, where can they get used to living here, Steward Wen has already booked a room in the restaurant in the town." ”

After listening to Steward Cai's words, Tong Shuangxi could really be sure at this time.

The Tong family's big house and the Tong family's big family are really poisonous.

After the guests on the mountainside left, Tong Shuangxi went to find the Wen steward.

"According to the law, this conscription should be once a year, two years ago Emperor Hui ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, the next ten years, the annual conscription will be changed to every three years, this year the country is stable, the people are stable, the matter of conscription is not so urgent, and it is not for nothing that a small village like Liuli Village is conscripted once every three or five years."

Steward Wen patiently explained to Tong Shuangxi.

Regarding this, Tong Shuangxi also heard Qin Lao Neng and Wang Pozi say it.

It was said that it was four years ago that someone from Liuli Village was recruited, and the third son of Qin Lao Neng's eldest brother's family was conscripted, and he sent a letter to his family a year ago, saying that he had been promoted.

"Do all those who meet the age have to be requisitioned?"

For these things, Qin Lao Neng, a person who has been digging in the soil all year round, will not know more than a person like Steward Wen.

"Not really!" Steward Wen thought for a moment and continued, "There is no conscription for only one son in the family, and there is only one person in the family who is exempt from military service, and only one person in the family is needed. ”

Tong Shuangxi frowned.

"Take the Qin family as an example, the Qin family has a total of five brothers, and the sons born to these five people only need one person to serve in the military." Seeing that Tong Shuangxi hadn't understood yet, Steward Wen continued to explain to her.

Tong Shuangxi remembered the big family of the Tong family.

Tong Laozhu has a total of three sons, Tong Zhangjia, Tong Zhangcai, and Tong Zhangwan.

The eldest Tong Zhang's family has two sons, Tong Shuangfu and Tong Shuangshou, and they are all in line with the age of military service, the second Tong Zhangcai, that is, Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's dead father, only one son, Tong Shuangshuang, and only nine years old, the third Tong Zhangwan is only a daughter, and has no son......

Tong Shuangxi now finally understands in his heart what the idea of this Tong family's big house is.

"Does that later group have anything to do with these people who were conscripted earlier?"

Tong Shuangxi wanted to be sure of one more thing, so he continued to ask.

Wen Guan was shocked, but after just thinking about it, he understood that there is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone doing such a bad thing.

"On the surface, it has nothing to do with it, but one of the two groups of people has achieved its goal, and the other group will no longer embarrass that family!"

Steward Wen said bluntly, Tong Shuangxi didn't understand anything.

Tong Shuangfu and Tong Shuangshou, the two sons of the Tong family who only have a big house, are eligible for military service, and they must choose one of them to serve in the military at that time.

Tong Shuangshuang is young and does not meet the age of military service, but the eunuchs who buy people like the most are those child men who have not yet grown up, so Tong Shuangshuang is more suitable, so the Tong family wants to sell Tong Shuangshuang to those eunuchs, so that their two sons Tong Shuangfu and Tong Shuangshou can be exempted from military service.

Even if there was a guess in his heart, after confirming this matter, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but feel chills.

The so-called flesh and blood relatives, but that's it.

Seeing that Tong Shuangxi's face was not good, Steward Wen asked with concern, "Are you worried that someone in your family is doing military service?" ”

I inquired about these things, and my face was not good after hearing about it, so it must have something to do with it.

"It's another thing!"

Tong Shuangxi gritted his teeth and said.

Thinking of Tong Shuangshuang falling into such a fate, Tong Shuangxi's heart was full of fear and helplessness.

Although she came from another world, she was just a thirteen-year-old concubine with no power, no power or even wealth...... Only then did she truly appreciate the powerlessness of survival.

When Steward Wen heard Tong Shuangxi's words, his face couldn't help but change.

"Are you saying that your family is not going to do military service, but ......"

The rest of the words didn't need to be spoken, and both of them knew what they meant.

Tong Shuangxi nodded.

Steward Wen looked at Tong Shuangxi's expression in front of him, and his face couldn't help but have an anxious color: "Won't it be your brother?" ”

Tong Shuangxi nodded again.

"O iniquity! No matter how bad it is to sell the house and land and donate a sum of money, you can avoid it! How can it be ......"

Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang both have a relationship with Steward Wen, and Steward Wen genuinely cares about them.

"Can you be exempted from military service if you pay for it?"

Tong Shuangxi's eyes lit up and asked eagerly.

Steward Wen nodded, just sighed, and raised his middle finger towards Tong Shuangxi: "It's just not less than this number?" ”

"A thousand taels?"

Tong Shuangxi exclaimed.

Isn't that tantamount to nothing? One thousand taels of silver, as far as the current Tong Shuangxi is concerned, even if he grabs it, he can't grab it!

Steward Wen was also taken aback by Tong Shuangxi's words: "A thousand taels of silver can buy the entire village of Liuli Village, you girl is really." ”

Tong Shuangxi hurriedly exhaled.

"If it is according to the weekdays, ten or fifty taels, it is not impossible to ask someone to talk about it, but because of the group of people behind, at least one hundred taels of silver, can one person be exempted from military service, and those people can no longer find the trouble of this family!"

The twists and turns in this, a girl like Tong Shuangxi doesn't know about it, and Steward Wen will understand it with her.

"In other words, as long as we can pay a hundred taels of silver, we can make the Tong family not have to send people to serve in the military, and we can also let those people not pick someone to buy from the Tong family!"

Tong Shuangxi also wants to confirm these first.

"Theoretically, this is the reason, although they are all here to ask for people, these two groups of people are well water and do not interfere with river water, but if the family wants to sell people, then no one can control it."

As he spoke, Steward Wen looked at Tong Shuangxi worriedly.

The people of the Tong family, Steward Wen has seen a few, but he doesn't know about the Tong family, just looking at Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother who have been living in Mrs. Wang's house, you can guess the situation of these two children in the Tong family.
