"Yes, yes, we're happy!" The old man nodded incessantly, and tears flowed down the ravines into his grinning mouth. Well, sweet miles!

"Daddy!" The strong woman took advantage of the old man's happiness, bravely crossed her husband, poked her head and said directly to the old man: "Daddy, what we are thinking about is taking advantage of this year's good harvest or selling some grain to the official family!" ”

"Didn't we say that the price of grain is high this year, and it is more cost-effective to sell it to grain merchants!" Hearing his daughter-in-law's words, the man on the side interrupted a little unhappily: "Yidou can sell a few more pieces!" ”

The strong woman on the side heard her husband's strong words, and the courage she had just mustered was instantly suppressed again. wiped the unconscious tears on her face, but the strong woman didn't dare to say more.

The old man knew that his daughter-in-law was not an unreasonable person, and what she said must have a reason, but his own son was often a tendon, and then the old man slapped the strong man's head with his backhand, and hit the strong man with his head.

In the end, it is his own father, even if he is old, his strength is still the same.

"Looks like you!" After dealing with his unfortunate son, the old man turned his head and said to his daughter-in-law gently: "Child, don't say it, don't worry about that fool!" With your father here, you dare to yell at you? See if I don't clean him up. ”

The strong man who dodged to the side scratched his head and whispered weakly: "I didn't roar!" ”

Before the words were finished, Daddy killed with a fierce look, and the strong man didn't dare to speak.

The woman with her father's support immediately stiffened her waist and said slowly, "Daddy! That's right, the lord said, the king set a minimum price of 12 wen and one bucket, this move is to stabilize the price of grain, so that I will not suffer losses, and second, after many years of war, there is indeed a shortage of grain in the grain depot of the imperial court. ”

The old man nodded when he heard this, and said: "I also know that today's king is a good king who is rare for thousands of years, and it stands to reason that we should repay our kindness, but that Han boy said that the price on the grain merchant's side will be higher." ”

The old man said with a slight sigh: "Although the harvest is good this year, there are still a lot of arrears in previous years, and if the grain is sold to the official family, I am afraid that there will not be a few children left after paying off the debts!" The old woman also said that she would buy some clothes for her grandchildren! ”

"Look! Having said it, I still have to give a good job to the grain merchants with high prices! The man listened to his father's negative words, and suddenly came back to his strength.

The woman ignored her husband and continued to say to her father, "Daddy, you don't know! The lord who divided the land said: The king knows that the price of grain collected by the official family is not necessarily comparable to that of the grain merchants, and he does not want our poor families to suffer, so we will record that we do not sell a piece of grain to the official family, as long as we reach a certain amount, we can get a knighthood, and after obtaining the knighthood, it is okay to serve in the army or as an official! ”

"Huh? And such a good thing? The old man was shocked when he heard this, that's a knighthood, something he can't think of, and he can still be arranged as an official, my God, my family is going to be developed!

Suddenly, the old man's eyes when he looked at his son were a little colder-he didn't tell the old man about such an important matter! If you miss this, you won't have to break your chest!

This fool knows how to work, how did I give birth to such a thing!

For a while, the old man's hand slapped the back of his son's head again.

After venting, the old man calmed down again and asked his daughter-in-law, "How much grain do you have to sell to get a knight!" If it's too much, I'm afraid of ......"

Although he said so worriedly, the old man's heart had already pounced on the word "title", and the old man, who was used to seeing the world, understood the difference between having a title and not having a title.

Although now the lord with the title also has to pay the grain and errand, but not to mention anything else, the iron rice bowl and the public office field alone are enough to make countless people drool, plus all kinds of hidden benefits after winning the knighthood!

The old man has secretly vowed that even if he is harsh and has to endure ten years of hard labor at home, he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! He knew that before the others could react, he would be able to fundamentally change his family's life one day earlier by obtaining the knighthood, and that such an opportunity could be canceled at any time as the treasury was replenished.

"Daddy, that lord has calculated carefully for us, if there is a bumper harvest every year, we will sell half of the grain that we are ready to sell to the official family, and at most six to seven years can be exchanged for a knighthood." The woman obviously understands that Daddy is moved and is calculating the pros and cons! Then he revealed his hole cards and plates.

I saw that the old man's brows were furrowed even tighter!

"How can there be a bumper harvest every year like this year, and the newly opened acres of fields in the north will have to pay taxes from next year! It's said that it's six or seven years, but I'm afraid it won't be able to stop for eight or nine years! The man said in a weird manner: "What's more, even if it is only six or seven years, what will happen in six or seven years, who can say yes?" If the official speaks, it doesn't count......"

"This year, when the king divided the land, you said that there would be no such good thing, and called you to open a few more acres of land, and you said that it was for others, so that you could persuade you to open these acres of land on the north slope. What's going on now? If a few more acres of land had been opened at that time, life would have been better this year! When the woman heard her husband's strange words, she was really angry, and immediately began to dig up the old accounts. m.

The strong man who knew that he was wrong did not dare to say more.

But obviously, the angry woman will not easily let go of her weak husband: "Besides, next year's harvest is not as good as this year's, and you can't open a few more acres of land?" The dog will also become a ding next year, and when the time comes, if you open a few more acres, you are afraid that you will not be able to get this year's income? ”

"You said simply, open a few more acres of land, where do we get so much labor? It's going to exhaust us! The strong man said weakly on the side.

The old man who was still thinking listened to his son's unproductive words, and suddenly got angry, and kicked it hard, and the strong man saw his father's big foot kicking over, but he didn't dare to hide, so he could only take this kick firmly.

"What's wrong with suffering a little? It's all a hardship for yourself and your children! Why don't you want to? Lao Tzu and your mother both cultivated dozens of acres of land, which pulled you up, what's the matter, you can't do it if you change it? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he kicked the strong man's buttocks again.

The woman quickly stopped the angry father, and although the woman's mouth was broken, she still felt sorry for her husband.

Kicked twice at once, the old man was obviously a little exhausted, and under the persuasion of his daughter-in-law, he also got off the donkey and sat down again. looked at his son who was huddled aside, and muttered for a while.

Finally, the old man seemed to have made up his mind, beckoned to his son and daughter-in-law, and said: "Choose the seeds, pay the public grain and taxes, keep enough food for the family, and save five or six buckets for emergencies, and sell the rest to the official family!" ”

"Dad, this ......" The two people sitting around obviously didn't expect Daddy to be so decisive.

The old man ignored the surprise and puzzlement of the two, waved his hand and continued: "We don't understand those twists and turns, but since the king ascended the throne, our family has gone from not having enough to eat to having enough to eat, and now we can even have a balance, which has told the old man a truth: follow the king, you won't suffer!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
