It is more difficult for his grandchildren, but his granddaughter has a tailor's trade, and it is very likely that she will work in the garment shop for a long time and become a permanent worker, so that she can earn more.

He told Zhao Mingming all this.

He didn't know why he would tell Zhao Mingming, although he was honest, but he had experienced troubled times, and the people around him left one after another, he was still very wary, and knew the truth that wealth was not exposed, but he squatted with Zhao Mingming, and as soon as she asked, he couldn't help but tell her.

Or the kind when she asked, and he couldn't help but reply three sentences.

When he finally finished chatting with Zhao Mingming and poured out all the happy and troubled things at home, it was almost dark.

Zhao Mingming enthusiastically invited him to dinner, and stayed at home by the way.

The old man hurriedly refused, "We peasants can temporarily live in Jushantang when we go to the city, and I will live there." ”

"How can Jushantang be comfortable at home? It's all to blame for forgetting to look at the time when I talked, the old man will stay with me tonight, I have a spare room in my house. ”

The old man still refused, and Zhao Mingming said: "Okay, if you don't live, you can't live, but you have to have a meal, take a walk, we have public food in the yamen, I can call home to eat." ”

As soon as the old man heard this, he swallowed the words of refusal into his stomach, and happily went to the county government with Zhao Mingming to eat.

Zhao Mingming took the upper and lower layers of large lunch boxes, whether it was cooking or cooking, he played at the top of the game, and when he left, he ran to the staple food window and softly took several steamed buns and cakes.

The old man followed behind with her lunch box, and when he saw that she was grabbing five or six cakes in one hand and pinching seven or eight big steamed buns in the other, he suddenly smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows.

Zhao Mingming led him to his public rental house.

The old man followed her and asked in a low voice, "Little lady, you cook so much by yourself, is Shangguan okay?" ”

Zhao Mingming said: "I have a big appetite, I eat a lot, and no matter how big or small the officials, I have the opportunity to bring my family to visit the yamen three times a year, and this extra part is for my family." ”

There are so many talented people in the world, and people don't have to be officials, especially after officials also have to pay taxes and have a lot of benefits.

Therefore, in order to attract talents, Zhao Hanzhang not only gave some financial benefits, but also ordered the yamen in various places to build public rental housing, which is specially leased to local officials, the rent is not high, and the housing layout is reasonable.

In addition, officials can take their families to visit the yamen every year, and the yamen in various places also hold family activities every year to make their families proud and encourage more aspiring young people in the society to choose the recruitment examination and become officials.

It's okay.

The old man was envious, looked at Zhao Mingming and said: "My sons can't study, and I don't know what will happen to the children they will have after marrying in the future. ”

Zhao Mingming said with a smile: "How can it be so exaggerated, but the county government is just a small official, when you have grandchildren, let them study seriously, as long as you are willing to provide, I think the county and county exams are still very easy." ”

The county examination and the county examination are really not difficult in Zhao Mingming's opinion, the four books and the five classics are roughly understood, arithmetic and gewu are also tested for some elementary knowledge, and the rest is the writing and summary assessment of policy theory and some official documents, which is very simple.

At this time, Zhao Mingming had not yet noticed the huge gap between her and ordinary students, the part that was not difficult for her was precisely their most difficult project, and the poetry articles and the problem-breaking writing of the Four Books and Five Classics, which were a bit of a headache for her, were the best parts of the outstanding students in the county examination and the county examination.

Zhao Mingming invited the old man to have a meal, and personally sent the person to Jushantang, and only left after seeing him move in.

Juzentang was also built by the imperial court, and it is found in basically every prefecture.

The nature is similar to low-rent housing, except that low-rent housing is rented to local poor families for a long time, so that the other party has a place to live.

Jushantang is a short-term rental house, for farmers who enter the county, people who are hungry and poor, etc., do not need money to live in, and they don't even need a book of registration, but they will be asked why.

Like the old man, who goes into the city to sell some agricultural and sideline products, and by the way glances at the bulletin wall, the stewards don't like to ask too much, and they don't care if they are assigned a room.

The stewards' favorite is the kind of person who is confused when asked the reason, or directly because of poverty, no money, hunger and cold, and comes to live in a hotel, and when asked again, there is no household registration, then the steward is happy.

This means that they can create excellence, leave people behind, register their household registration, settle down, and divide land......

You must know that since the seventh year of Zhenyuan, it has been difficult to find black households without household registration outside, and there are not even displaced people.

As long as there are displaced people in one place, the county magistrate does not know how happy he is, and he must leave the person behind immediately, leaving one person means that the new population of their county will be increased by one, and then ask his place of origin, and he can also write to the county magistrate of his origin.

How badly does the county order of that county have to be for the people to be displaced and become displaced under His Majesty's rule?

You must know that Yongye Land cannot be bought and sold, how can the people lose their land and become displaced people?

It must be the local county magistrates and gentry and tyrants who have done great evil, and it is a merit to expose it.

Because the summer harvest has ended, many farmers have recently come to the city to sell goods and read the news, so the house is full of people.

Zhao Mingming wandered around the Jushan Hall, and the farmers gathered together in twos and threes to talk loudly, talking about this year's harvest and taxes.

There are strong farmers who have done well in literacy classes, and they are already counting the amount of taxes to be paid this summer.

Zhao Mingming listened for a long time, forcibly resisted the steps of stepping forward to correct, turned around and left silently.

She walked out of Jushantang, and the voice behind her caught up, "Listen to me, your family of five will prepare eight stones of grain in the field, and you can't be wrong." ”

"But my family only paid six stones and three buckets last year, and this year I heard that it is only forty taxes and one, which is less than last year, why do you have to pay more? And what about the autumn tax, the tax is collected twice, and the summer tax will not be so much, right? ”

"Don't listen to him, don't listen to him, he miscalculated."

"Fart, I'm one hundred and two people in my literacy class, I'm third, I'm going to be wrong?"

"You clearly know the most words, literacy first, why are you still ranked third? Because you're poor at arithmetic! Lao Chen, I'll count ...... for you."

"Don't argue, stop arguing, Lao Chen, it's your turn to escort the tax this year, right? Who do you want to go to your house? ”

A sad and heavy sigh sounded in Zhao Mingming's ears, "I haven't chosen it yet, I want the boss to go, but he makes the most money, and I am afraid that it will delay the agricultural time for two months." ”

"Your family is fine, there are many Chengding, just send one person out, my wife's brother's family is unlucky, only my wife's brother is a Chengding, this year it is also his turn, he leaves, leaving the mother and son, and my family has to take care of it, my wife has made up with me, this autumn harvest, to unite with my wife's brother's family, the two families do one, and I don't know if it will delay the agricultural time."

Zhao Mingming stopped listening and strode towards the public rental house.

Fan Lianyin and Zu Daozhong, who had just come back from overtime, were sitting on the steps in a daze with tea in their hands, their faces blank.

Seeing Zhao Mingming come back, the two of them got up lazily to say hello, and sat down again after Zhao Mingming signaled that there was no need to be polite, with a blank face.

Zhao Mingming brought a chair and sat opposite them, "Are you tired?" ”

The two nodded together. (End of chapter)
