Chapter 147: Bereavement Pension/Consolation II
In a small battle with Fei Guo six years ago, Niu Da and Niu Er, one injured his leg and the other injured his right hand with a gun, and neither of them could go to the battlefield again, so they were sent back.
"Where's the consolation money?" Yan Xi is still good for soldiers, if a soldier dies in battle, the court will issue a pension of two hundred taels, if he is injured, there is a special place for treatment, and the medical treatment is free for the rest of his life, and one hundred taels of consolation will be issued.
For this bun is only two yuan of silver, and one pound of five flowers is only twelve yuan of the era [one hundred wen one penny, ten yuan one tael], one or two hundred taels of bereavement / consolation, if one penny is calculated as one piece, one or two hundred taels is one hundred or two hundred thousand yuan.
But not only can you live well, if you do a small business or something, you can also let your family live a good life of eating meat every day.
Nightshade's expression was a little distorted: "My subordinates asked just now, and they said that they were driven back after they were injured, and their injuries were not cured, let alone any consolation money." ”
Moreover, listening to Niu Da's words, Niu Er's hand was just cut by a knife and not directly broken, but because it was not treated, it rained heavily on the day he was driven out, and after the two brothers returned home, Niu Er launched a high fever, and after inviting a doctor to come and see, he was told that Niu Er's hand would not be a problem if it was treated in time.
But because of the time of treatment, plus the rain all the way, and a fall in the middle, I had to amputate my leg. And because he had no money and couldn't afford to use anesthetics, his hands were cut off alive.
I couldn't afford to use hemostatic medicine, so I could only tie my arms to death, and my family went up the mountain to get blood grass to stop the bleeding. But because it has been tied for too long, it hurts the tendons and veins, and now Niu Er's entire arm is useless.
This time, speaking of which, it's not all about money.
Niu Da Niu Er has a seriously ill old mother in the family, who should have drunk medicine every day, but the family is too poor, and the two main forces who can make money, one has a lame leg and the other has a broken right hand, so he can only drink it once and wait for a few days before drinking, so he hangs for his life.
Because the soldiers have a monthly silver, there are a lot, and the lowest-level soldiers in a month also have three taels of silver, so Yanxi's soldiers have no land, even if they have it at home, as long as someone in the family goes to join the army, the family's land will be taken back by the village, unless you go to open up the wasteland again, which is allowed.
Niu Da Niu Er went to join the army, the family's land was taken back, and there were only women and children left in the family, and Yicheng's attitude towards women was particularly low, even if they were relatives, they could not leave the house at will, otherwise they would be regarded as uneasy in the room and spurned existence. So when they were soldiers, their families couldn't contribute manpower to clear the wasteland.
When the two of them were soldiers, they could still send the moon silver back, and because the brothers were soldiers, there were six taels of silver in a month, and there was food and accommodation in the army.
But when the two of them went home injured, not only did they not have a consolation money, but they themselves had to spend a lot of silver, which not only used up the family's silver deposits, but also owed a lot of debts.
Seeing that there was no hope in the family, Niu Da's daughter-in-law left her husband and her child less than two years old and left the village silently.
The two disabled people are still disabled people who have lost the ability to do heavy work, and they don't have the ability to open up land or anything, and the land that originally belonged to them in the village has also been given to others.
In this world, people are selfish, who is willing to return the land to them, and there is no such clear rule in the imperial court.
The Niu brothers still tried their best to open up some wasteland, but the yield of wasteland was already low, although Yan Xi had support for the wasteland, the first three years were not taken off, and half of the normal taxes were collected in the first two years after three years, and only after five years did they start to collect according to normal.
But two disabled people, how well they can farm, and there is a mother at home who has to drink medicine every day, not to mention how tight life is.
Yesterday Niu Er's children went to the river to catch two three or four catties of fish up, Niu Er also picked a lot of herbs in the mountains, this morning the two brothers brought fish and herbs to the city to sell, thinking that the silver sold and then exchanged for the medicine that the deputy mother drank back.
They are located in a village outside Dongcheng, and it is naturally Dongcheng to go into the city to sell things.
The two fish were very fresh, and before Niu Er could take them to the market and shout for drink, he was bought by a wealthy merchant who went to buy them. People saw that he only had half a section in his hand, and the fish that was originally twenty wen silver was given an extra five wen.
But because of this money, Niu Er got into trouble.
Niu Da took the herbs picked by Niu Er to the house he was used to going to, which was also the medicine shop that often prescribed medicine to their mother, and when he returned to the market to meet Niu Er, he saw Niu Er being beaten in the middle by a group of thugs.
It can be guessed from the scolding words of those gangsters that they asked Niu Er to take out the silver that was sold for money, but Niu Er refused, so they did it.
Niu naturally didn't watch his brother being beaten, but his legs were inconvenient, and the result of stopping them was that both of them were punched and kicked by those thugs for a while, until those people were cool and happy, and then they left the two of them and left.
At this time, Niu Er was already covered with blood, and Niu Da was in extreme pain.
There were people around who couldn't look down, and I helped send them to the hospital. After seeing Doctor Lu, who had a good relationship with Niu Da and their family, he told Niu Da that Niu Er's condition was not good, and he couldn't cure it. and reminded him to come to the Heming Department Store for help, because he knew that Dr. Yan, who was sitting in the pharmacy of the Heming Department Store, had better medical skills than him.
Midnight pondered for a while before asking, "What's the wrong situation?" ”
"I hurt my head, it should be a murder weapon like a stick, and my body was also seriously injured, and my leg bones and sternum were broken. Niu Da was not lightly injured, mainly in the internal organs, and he had been vomiting blood just now. Nightshade's voice was filled with pent-up anger.
He respected soldiers the most in his life, and now he sees that soldiers who have contributed themselves to the country have been treated so unfairly after being injured and retired that even a few gangsters can punch and kick them.
Even if these soldiers are subordinates of the Wang family, they are guarding the border for Yan Xi.
How could he not be angry, how could he not be angry?
"Let people heal them, and they must save their lives."
"Yes." Nightshade turned around and hurried to deliver the message, and he was going to do it himself.
His current identity means that he is the owner of Heming Villa, and if he passes on the words of the owner, the people below will be more and more attentive and will do their best.
Midnight glanced at the back of the night shadow, and did not blame him for his sudden kindness, but picked up the book and read it again.
There is a soft ground in everyone's heart, and if it is really all cold, then it is not called a human being.
