Chapter 174: A very heavy conscription
Wang, Zhang Qiang still has a memory, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at Old Man Ding.
Old man Ding was not affected by Wang's sad look.
He has lost his face and is numb, and now he may be too thick-skinned, and he has no embarrassment!
"This is the daughter-in-law of the third child of my family, and it happens to be the granddaughter of this old lady.
As soon as he said this, Mrs. Wang's already high arrogance became more and more enthusiastic, and she went to Wang's side in small steps.
Wang kept watching her, and as soon as the old lady moved, she ran up.
"Master Zhang, please save me, I am the daughter-in-law of the Ding family, even if I am a cow and a horse, I should also do it in the Ding family, the Wang family, it's not that there is no one, there is no shortage of one in the family..."
"You short-lived ghost, you dare to curse me!" Mrs. Wang's eyes were cracked.
Seeing that the Wang family was caught by the Dajiang family, and the old lady's skinny but unambiguous fist was about to fall, Zhang Qiang drank in a deep voice: "What kind of system?" ”
The old lady Wang, who was almost able to hit the Wang family, was relieved that she was almost beaten again.
"Master Zhang, you have also seen it, you have treated me like this in their family, let alone when you are not there, Master Zhang, please, please let me go home, I will be tortured to death by them if I don't go home, such a big family, such a big family's clothes let me not say anything, I go back late, and I have to be beaten if I cook late. Master Zhang, I am a married girl, I don't say that I am good to eat and treat when I go back to my parents' house, at least I can't be beaten and scolded at will, they don't treat me as a person, they want to kill me! ”
To this day, the Wang family still can't figure it out.
Ding Xuewei was out of sight.
And Zhang Qiang, who was regarded as a lifesaver by the Wang family, suddenly sympathized with Old Man Ding.
"It's hard for a clean official to decide family affairs, this is a family problem, and it's not easy for me to participate."
Wang, who thought he could go home, was stunned and at a loss.
I thought I would hear something I didn't want to hear, but it didn't, the Wang family was happy and surprised.
But at this moment, Old Man Ding opened his mouth.
"My grandmother is now ruddy and energetic, and my father-in-law is also in good spirits, so I don't need my daughter-in-law to take care of me." In Wang's incredible gaze, he said again: "Your mother's family is quite alive, I don't think you are needed, you can go home and take care of the children." ”
"The eldest nephew..."
Before she could speak, Mrs. Wang was persuaded by Old Man Ding's cold gaze.
Old man Ding looked away and paired with the old village chief.
The old village chief immediately stretched out his hand: "The two poor masters are here, please." ”
Family disputes, the official is not not not able to manage but looks at it, today, but the old man Fan Ding has a headache, and Uncle Li's land property is not to be imagined.
Old man Ding is confident, so they naturally don't need to do much.
"I won't go to the house, and our brother will come on business today." After sweeping his eyes around everyone, Zhang Qiang asked the village chief again: "Are all the people in the village here?" ”
The village chief knew about the conscription in the house early in the morning, and when he said this, he immediately counted.
Hurriedly nodded: "The population is here, and the population of our village is not large." ”
"Poor master?" Mrs. Wang stepped forward very blindly.
Uncle Li has a clear word, but her family doesn't have it yet.
Zhang Qiang wanted to speak, but Mrs. Wang came to block his words, and suddenly felt disgusted.
With a keen gaze, the old lady suddenly withered.
Retracting his gaze, he raised his voice to output his meaning: "The Jiuqu River floods every year, the embankment collapses every year, and last year caused such a large-scale disaster..."
In order to prevent the people in the province from suffering disasters this year, the new channel must be built before the arrival of the summer flood season. What emperor was grateful for the misery of the people of Fengcheng Mansion and decided to reduce the poll tax for all the people who participated in the forced labor in the past two years Zhang Qiang was not breathing for a cup of tea.
At first, everyone was in high spirits, but it didn't sound right.
In the past, when the conscription was light, the family was alone, and in the heavy year, a strong man had to be left to continue the incense.
This year, I actually want all the strong men from sixteen to sixty.
What's more, all animals over the age of one must also participate.
If you don't go, you will not only have to supplement last year's poll tax, but then pay this year's one, and you will have to pay 20 taels of money!
"There is no danger in digging waterways, so you don't have to worry too much."
It's not dangerous to dig waterways, but if the main labor force of a family is expropriated, what will happen to the fields, and what will happen to this year's grain?
"Village Chief!"
The village chief has already spent all his strength.
"Master Zhang, is there anything else that can be accommodating?"
"This thing has been done all the way from Ning County, and the area around Fucheng is the last notice, and the construction has already started in Ning County."
Zhang Qiang didn't explain much, but the meaning of the nail was obvious.
The old village chief gave everyone an apologetic look, and then asked, "Register today?" ”
"Register today and leave on the fifth day of February." Zhang Qiang pulled the burden of the crossbody.
The old village chief knew what he meant by completing the charter as soon as possible, and nodded: "The two of you have been tired all the way, so you will have a break in the house, and the villagers will immediately inform the two of you after discussing it." ”
If they want to be fast, they have to give the people in the village a chance to discuss.
This time, the two of them went to the hall as they could.
——
"What can I do? It's a human life! ”
——
"I thought I was going to have a better year, but I didn't want to wait here!"
——
"The child's father is gone, and the livestock are also gone, how can I plant this land!"
——
"Ouch, I have a headache, it's going to explode!"
"Daddy, why don't we buy Ding?" Aunt Bai said painfully.
There are only four of them in their family, two husbands and wives and two children, the eldest Bai Xiang is only fourteen, and the younger Bai He is only ten years old.
The two of them paid the tax, and the head of the two for two years was twelve taels, plus the twenty taels for the buyer, and the thirty-two taels were obtained.
"What nonsense." Uncle Bai refused without thinking.
"Out of these thirty taels, this year's grain can always be harvested, if you leave, what can we do with our fields, where can I manage it alone? Not to mention planting seedlings, it is difficult to plant and take care of them. ”
"Let's not talk about it yet." Uncle Bai was in a heavy mood.
Aunt Bai wanted to say something, but Uncle Bai raised his hand to stop her: "Let's listen to what the village chief and Elder Ding said first." ”
The Ding family, there are a lot of people who have been selected this time, men, except for the young Ding Lao Wu, even the old man Ding is on the list.
Even Old Man Ding can't pick up a flat burden, so naturally it is impossible to do any coolies.
He didn't do it to the Ding family, but wanted to know how the Ding family, who couldn't hire labor to farm nearby, would deal with it.
After a few turns of thought, the old village chief's eyes finally fell on Old Man Ding.
