"Your Majesty is indeed a saint!" Zuo Guigui also praised, and then said: "Uncle Ke, as you said, the ordinary people of the Hedong countries have not even solved the basic food and clothing, and they will not spend money to buy toys for their children, but we Chinese people will!" Uncle Ke, you must know that we now have 250,000 people in Huaxia, and there are tens of thousands of children, and this number will inevitably increase dramatically every year, in seven years in China, maybe it will reach 400,000, or even 500,000, and in ten years in China, maybe it can reach 1 million, this is not an impossible thing, don't you think about this major market at all? What's more, in addition to our Huaxia, there is also a big market, don't forget, once the northern trade route is opened, it is not only our Huaxia and the countries in the northeast of Hebei that will benefit the most, but also the grassland barbarian tribes in the middle!"

"Those barbarians and poor people can't even make iron pots, what can they have anything valuable? They won't be willing to exchange military horses for toys, right?" At the beginning of mentioning the Huaxia market, Ke Laoshi was obviously moved, but in the end, when it came to the grassland market, he was a little disapproving.

"Now they don't have money, but not necessarily after the trade routes open...... Moreover, the nouveau riche make the best money, isn't it?" Zuo Guigui said, "After their pockets are bulging, they will not be moved when they see the dazzling array of goods shipped from the civilized world, and the bow is not an unpopular toy for the steppe nomads..."

Ke Laoshi was silent for a while, nodded, looked at Zuo Precious and his eyes were full of appreciation, and said: "Precious, if you don't wear this military skin, you will get ahead in business." ”

"What are you talking about!" Ke Wang was dissatisfied, "Precious and good career is waiting, what kind of business to do, do your best to make a bad idea!"

"Hehe, isn't that a feeling... How could I let the precious renunciation of martial arts become a business!" Ke Laoshi hurriedly clarified.

"Precious, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense... Eat the vegetables, the dishes are cold!" Ke Wang's face was kind to help Zuo Precious to pick up the vegetables.

"Thank you, auntie!" Zuo Guigui picked up the bowl with a smile and took it, enjoying the warmth of the moment very much.

"Oh, by the way, precious, Xiaowen, I heard that the army has given all of you soldiers a field, is this true?" Everyone ate quietly for a while, Ke Laoshi suddenly asked, in fact, he wanted to ask about this matter for a long time, but he was too involved in talking about business just now, and he forgot about it for a while.

Hearing Ke Laoshi ask about the field, Ke Wangshi suddenly became calm, he didn't even eat, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and stared at the two of them like this, his eyes were full of expectation and eagerness.

Zuo Guigui and Ke Wen glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

[The teaching is true, the Chinese people's desire and attachment to the land since ancient times has been deep-rooted, no matter how many years have passed, how far they have migrated, and what kind of new life they have lived, this concept is difficult to change in a short period of time. 】

Zuo Guigui thought in his heart.

In the past, because he did not understand why the shogunate had not given the people land, and even did not allow the people to open up the land privately, only allowed the government to organize actions and operate in a unified manner in the form of large farms, he also asked them about the teachings of the regiment on this matter, and his teachings told him that if the people were given fields, then the current factories would be stopped seventy percent, and many public facilities could not be built so quickly, because they could only find people to do it when the farming was slack, and because of the lack of professionals, it was inefficient, it is difficult to promote the development of Huaxia, and then he occasionally said the above words.

Now that Zuo Guigui saw Ke Laoshi and Ke Wang's expressions, he understood.

Although there is a shortage of food, and even entered a period of control, this is temporary, and China has not starved to death because of food problems, on the contrary, technological innovation has begun to make up for the lack of acres of land, and the increase in jobs has also allowed more people to have a source of income, and the quality of life has been continuously improved, and most people have lived a life that they could not have imagined before. The people will not completely rely on the sky for food, and even become jobless vagrants in the event of natural and man-made disasters, after all, the fields are sometimes exhausted, but people's desires are endless, and the land feeds hundreds of billions of people, but it also restricts hundreds of billions of people.

Ke Wen's thoughts were similar to Zuo Guigui's, more than six years of military cultivation made his thinking gradually change, and he began to understand that his life now is much better than when he was farming before, and even if the factory is successful, their family will be able to rank among the rich class, what kind of land will they plant? Even if they have 100 acres of land, they may not be better off than now.

But he couldn't understand it, and he couldn't ignore his parents' expectations, so he thought about it and said, "It's true that the land will be divided, but I don't know how much I can divide..."

"How can you not know? Didn't your chief say it? Xiaowen, you have to figure this out, don't be detained!" Ke Wang was anxious, and he was a little speechless.

"Mother, what are you talking about! This kind of thing can be said casually? And what do you think of the Huaxia Army, who dares to embezzle the rewards of meritorious people, not to mention a little land, it's not worth it!" Ke Wen said unhappily, as a six-year veteran, he does not allow others to tarnish this sacred profession in his mind, even his own mother.

"Ahem..."Zuo Guigui coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention, and said: "Auntie, don't worry, or no one in ours dares to fool you! I don't know now that it's because the credit has not been calculated, and we have to wait for a while... However, in addition to the division of fields for military merits, each soldier has his own basic land according to his military rank, such as 10 acres for a third-class soldier, 12 acres for a second-class soldier, 15 acres for a first-class soldier, 20 acres for a corporal, 30 acres for a sergeant, and so on, to the highest major general (the highest military rank currently awarded in China except for Li Kang) is about 8,000 acres of basic land..."

"Eight... Eight thousand acres?" Ke Laoshi and Ke Wang exclaimed in surprise, and even Ke Ying'er, who had been watching Zuo Guigui eat, opened her mouth wide.

"Don't be so surprised, okay? It's just 8,000 acres, don't ancient books often say that there are thousands of hectares of fertile land? Even if one hectare is converted into the smallest 15 acres, there are 15,000 acres, and a small gentry sits on 10,000 acres of fertile land, what is wrong with our Chinese generals having 8,000 acres?" Ke Wen said disapprerovingly, "What's more, these lands are not given away for free, they need to be bought, but the price is only half of the market value." ”

"Hehe, Xiaowen is right, in the late Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Wanli's favorite third son, Fuwang Zhu Changxun, was in Luoyang, half of the land in He// South Province was his, and even if it was not enough, it would be an exaggeration to allocate a part from neighboring provinces!"

However, it is obvious that the example cited by Zuo Guigui is too far away from them, and it has not yet been shocked by the 15,000 acres that Ke Wen said.

"And how much can you get... What about the basic field?" Ke Wang asked, still rememberingly.

"One hundred acres for the second lieutenant and two hundred acres for the lieutenant, but I am a second lieutenant of the special combat team, and I am also the establishment of the Marshal's Mansion pro-army Long Xiangwei, so I have added two percent on the basis of the same level, and there are one hundred and twenty acres. In the end, Ke Wen raised his eyebrows proudly at Zuo Precious Eyebrow, showing off his feelings.

Zuo Guigui didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said directly to Ke Wang, who was about to settle accounts: "Auntie, these lands have to be paid for half, and now the shogunate doesn't let the people buy land, so there is no price at present, but I estimate that an acre of land will be between fifty and five hundred yuan..."

"It's so expensive!" Ke Wang was almost stunned!

"So, just because you have the qualifications to buy it, it doesn't mean that you can afford it!" Ke Wenmeng took a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing, "If you want me to say, most people won't buy it!"

"Doesn't that mean you're painting a big pie?" said Ke Wangshi with a smack.

"It's not counting, you can take out a loan in installments!" Kewen said, "And the field is there, and it won't run with long legs, just buy it when you have money!"

"Do you want to buy the military merit field? I don't know how much Xiao Wu can get?" Ke asked honestly.

"How can you still buy the military merit field? It was the brothers who exchanged their lives for it, who would dare to ask for money?" Ke Wen said with a stiff neck.

"Indeed, the field of military merit is rewarded, and not only does it not cost money, but it also does not have to pay taxes. Zuo Guigui followed and said, "Xiao Wu's words, he is still a sergeant, and he can get forty acres of basic land. ”

"Then our family has a total of 160 acres of basic land, in fact, it only costs 80 acres, that is, between 4,000 yuan and 40,000 yuan... "After Ke honestly finished the calculation, he felt a toothache, even if it was four thousand yuan, he couldn't afford it."

Unless...

"Otherwise, the child's father, you can talk to the Sheng family and the Zhu family tomorrow, we won't run that factory, and the loan money will be used to buy land. Sure enough, as Ke Wen and Zuo Guigui expected, Ke Wang's made a choice between setting up a factory and buying land without hesitation, she wanted to buy land.

Ke Laoshi was caught in the battle between heaven and man for a while, and it was difficult to make a choice, while Ke Wen and Zuo Guigui sighed secretly, and they were about to be told by the instructor.

Although in his heart, Ke Wen has no opinion on setting up a factory or buying land, he can do anything, but Ke Wang's choice is too decisive, almost without hesitation, which makes him think of what the instructor once said, and subconsciously dissatisfied with his mother Ke Wang's attachment to the land.

"Dad, I think it's good to set up a factory, and it's useless to dig in the field all my life... And our family is just your second elder, and you can't take care of so much land, your second elder is also old, let's do some light work, my mother is now at home to take care of housework is very good, we don't have to worry about you, there is no need to add burden to yourself..."

Well, in fact, Ke Wen lied, and the fields do not have to be cultivated by themselves, and they can continue to be attached to the army, as long as they pay a certain amount of rent, which is worry-free and labor-saving.

Ke honestly glanced at Ke Wen in surprise, and didn't understand why his son, who was still picking on his own factory just now, made a 180-degree turn in his attitude and turned to support him to set up a factory.

I don't understand, but Ke is still very happy, although the yearning for the land rooted in his heart makes him a little undecided, but he also thought about setting up a factory for a long time, and finally talked about a juvenile madness, he didn't want to give up halfway.

"What do children know?" Ke Wang's hair was immediately fried, she is now like an old hen guarding her cubs, whoever dares to touch her land, she will fight with whom, "The child is his father, what is that factory, no one has a guarantee, land is the foundation of the heirloom, with this one hundred and sixty acres of land, our Ke family has held the rice bowl for several generations, can that factory?"

Zuo Guigui only deeply realized the strength of traditional inertia at this moment, and he could see that Ke Wang's family was still persuading him with good words, but from his firm gaze, Zuo Guigui could conclude that if Ke Laoshi did not agree with her decision, this usually cowardly rural woman would definitely flip the table and spill it, and Ke Laoshi's factory would have to be yellowed.

An unreasonable person doesn't make sense anymore!

[It's terrifying!]

Zuo Guigui looked at Ke Laoshi with some sympathy, not knowing how he should choose.

How else can Ke Laoshi choose?

When Ke Wang directly put down his chopsticks and left a sentence of "Don't talk to me in the future", the matter was decided.

Buy land!

Ke was honestly coaxed, and Ke Wen naturally didn't dare to jump.

In the afternoon of the next day, after sending off Sheng Ji and Zhu Dali with smiles on their faces, Ke honestly held his precious hand and said, "Thanks to the preciousness this time, otherwise we don't know where to put our old face, and we won't be able to see these old brothers again in the future." ”

That's right, Ke Laoshi's money was used to buy land, and the factory naturally ended up without a problem, but Zuo Precious is rich, when the old man was embarrassed, he decisively made a pick-up man, replaced the Ke family, and became the largest shareholder of the factory.

"I also see that this factory has a future, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the liberty of taking the money to waste..."Zuo Guigui smiled, "Now you thank me, I hope you don't complain that I picked your peaches in the future!"

"How is this possible? I still know what is right and wrong... It's better to give you a profitable business than to someone else... Hey, it's all to blame for the shallow-eyed losers, with long hair and short knowledge, and a pair of eyes staring at the ground, hey..."Ke honestly said indignantly.

[I can see it clearly now, but not necessarily in the future... It's okay if the factory has been making small fuss, but if it gets bigger... I can tell right from wrong, but I can pretend to be blind... How many conflicts of interest in the world are because they can't figure out right from wrong... Hey, let it be, I hope it doesn't go far!]

Zuo Guigui looked at the elders in front of him, and the actual old buddies in this name, and sighed a lot for a while.

However, Zuo Guigui also left a little leeway, he evened out a little share, and let Ke Wen take the money to buy shares and become a minority shareholder, so that the Ke family would not be completely hated by jealousy in the future.

"Let's go, let's go back too, your mother is probably in a hurry, for fear that I will regret it!" Ke said honestly.
