Chapter Twenty-Seven: Preparing the Third Pot of Gold

How solemn Pi is outside the door, how arrogant he is behind closed doors. She stared at Chen Xiaonuan's unscrupulous face, and didn't dare to speak for a while, for fear that Xiaonuan would poke out more truths and destroy the good image she had worked so hard to maintain.

The clever Aoyagi stepped forward and reminded Jiao Didi, "Old lady, the time for medication is almost up, you should go home." ”

Homecoming.....

Except for a few idiots who were fascinated by Aoyagi's voice, everyone else was numb with the shocking words.

Although this slope is not very good, Pi Shi still climbed down and nodded solemnly, "It's okay, the old man will go back to the 'mansion' to drink medicine first." ”

Looking at the green willow who was holding Pi's and twisting the waist of the water snake in one step and three times, and the eyes that stuck to it, thinking of the scum father on the top of the green cloud, Xiao Nuan pulled the grass home quite happily.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Rhubarb running back happily with his tongue out, followed by a black man with a thin waist and long legs. Xiao Nuan was weak for a while, "Rhubarb, is this your sister?" ”

Rhubarb grinned, his tail wagging into a squirrel's tail.

Xiao Nuan looked at Kuroko and sighed, "I remember that you are not yet a year old, right?" Kuroko looks like she's going to be four or five years old, do you really think it's appropriate? ”

Rhubarb continued to grin and wag his tail.

The offspring of rhubarb and sunspots will be...... Black and yellow flowers? Xiao Nuan smiled, "Let's go play, remember to come back to see home at night." ”

Rhubarb continued to wag his tail.

Xiaocao grinned, "Sister, Rhubarb wants to eat the meat and bones at home." ”

Xiao Nuan looked at the sky speechlessly and opened the door, "Come in." ”

Rhubarb immediately jumped in, and Kuroko followed with his long legs. Unexpectedly, Rhubarb suddenly turned around and bit the sunspot fiercely! Xiao Nuan was quite surprised when she looked at this scene.

Xiaocao ran into the kitchen and threw the big bones that had been stewed twice to Rhubarb. Rhubarb immediately took it into his dog hole and gnawed it for a while before he left with Kuroko satisfied.

You can still get a girlfriend with this character...... Xiao Nuan squatted weakly beside her mother to watch the chickens. Xiaocao also squatted down, "Mother, when will the chickens lay eggs?" ”

She had asked this question countless times, but Qin Shi still patiently answered, "Chickens lay eggs in four months, and in two months, they will definitely be able to eat eggs on August 15." ”

"Then August 15, I want to eat egg noodles." Xiaocao happily held her cheeks, August 15 is her birthday, and she wants to eat noodles for her birthday, and this year she can eat egg noodles.

"Cheng, egg noodles." Qin Shi was happy, "In the future, we won't sell any eggs laid by our chickens, and we will give them to both of you." ”

"Mother eats too." The two children replied in unison. They had raised more than a dozen chickens when they were in the Chen family before, and although they were all feeding them, it was never their turn to eat a mouthful of eggs.

Now that I have chickens, I can eat the eggs I want!

The family was so happy!

Qin stood up, "Xiaocao and I will go to hunt pigweed, Xiao Nuan will copy the book at home, and return it early after copying." ”

"Okay." Xiao Nuan obediently responded, washed her hands and went back to the house to open the newly borrowed book.

"Da Zhou Criminal System" has a total of 12 articles, divided into 213 doors and 502 articles, Xiao Nuan first complained for a while about the full traditional Chinese characters without punctuation, and then calmed down and carefully copied word by word.

After the preface is the famous Ten Unforgiving Serious Crimes, Xiao Nuan was red-eyed by the pen "lore", and the more she copied it, the more frightened she became, she didn't expect the law of Da Zhou to be so strict. Not to mention the heinous and other serious crimes, even some small things will lose their lives. For example, anyone who steals more than five pieces of money is to be immediately executed in public; Capture robbers, whether they have stolen goods or not, gather crowds to kill them, and so on.

Xiao Nuan held down her thumping little heart, she didn't live under such a harsh criminal law, she really didn't know the coldness in it, and now she kind of understood why the people were afraid of officials. As mentioned in the preface of the book, the promulgation of such a harsh law is to deter the peopleβ€”backed by heavy punishments, to ensure the implementation of the criminal law of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In Da Zhou, you have to abide by the laws of Da Zhou, make money within the scope of the law, Xiao Nuan copied carefully, and made a shallow mark when she encountered something incomprehensible, and waited for the opportunity to find someone to ask for advice.

This copy is ten days.

In the past ten days, Xiao Nuan has figured out what things cannot be operated in Da Zhou - salt, tea, weapons, etc. are forbidden commodities and are only operated by the government; It also clarified some special regulations, such as although the Great Zhou encouraged overseas trade, it did not allow the export of precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, and weapons, and the goods allowed to be exported or imported must undergo strict and detailed inspections, and once violated, they would be confiscated and killed.

The taxation system of the Great Zhou has been very perfect, and the tax burden on business is not light, but it is not much heavier than the modern tax rate in the commercial field encouraged by the imperial court, and Xiao Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the land policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is very similar to the Song Dynasty and implements the system of "the land system is not established, and the annexation is not suppressed". To put it simply, except for a small number of state-owned lands in the Great Zhou Dynasty, other lands were freely bought and sold, the imperial court only charged registration fees, and most of the lease contracts were decided between private individuals.

Xiao Nuan looked at it a few times with satisfaction, and her eyes narrowed, "Mother, let's be a big landlord with thousands of hectares of fertile land and thousands of shops in the future!" ”

Qin, who was quietly making winter clothes, nodded his daughter's forehead, "Wake up, one acre is one hundred acres, one acre of land is less than six acres, one hectare is six thousand, and a thousand acres is ......."

Qin's head circled, "A lot of silver!" ”

Xiao Nuan chuckled, "Mother has to learn arithmetic again, otherwise we will really mess up when we have more money in the future." ”

"I'll talk about it when I have more money." Qin continued to make clothes with a smile, "I heard that your third fat uncle's business is good these days, and we have rice money again this month." Xiao Nuan, I don't have to do anything to collect money at home, I feel so comfortable, it's all thanks to you. ”

Xiao Nuan laughed out of his teeth, "Uh-huh! ”

"It's just too idle. I'll let your second uncle watch it, see whose family sells the field after the summer harvest, let's buy two acres to grow vegetables and grain, and we have something to do. The more Qin thought about it, the better it became, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, buy!" Thinking of how big the two acres of land are, Xiao Nuan, who is about to rise from having a house to having a house and a field, is also excited, "I'll go and return the book first and then buy some rice back." Do you want to go with your mother? ”

"Sister, I'll go, I'll go!" Xiaocao, who was bored and drawing circles next to him, immediately raised his little hand.

Qin shook his head, "I'll finish the work in my hand first, you guys take the rhubarb, don't run around and don't make trouble, come back early." ”

Qinjia Village is less than five miles north of the county seat, Xiao Nuan took a hat and held the book, led his sister to follow the flow of people, returned the book in a hurry, and walked back with the broken silver to come back.

When passing by a stall selling cold noodles, Xiaocao drooled wildly. Xiao Nuan simply bought one, and the sisters finished eating it when they met head-to-head, bought a few pieces of osmanthus candy, and continued to wander.

When he walked to the cloth shop he passed by last time, Xiao Nuan stopped, and his eyes fell on the scholar who was shaking his head and reading in the store and the old man Uncle Xin with a sad face. The store was deserted and no one bought cloth, and business was even worse.

Xiao Nuan had the heart to do something, so she led her sister to squat under the window on the side of the road opposite the cloth shop, eating osmanthus candy and observing carefully, and Rhubarb was also squatting as a bodyguard quite imposingly.

Before he could see that he was ugly, a guy in a brocade robe squatted next to Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan turned her head and faced a pair of smiling peach blossom pupils.
