Chapter 38: News Flies into People's Homes
Come to think of it, after all, the cabinet still has the courage to persuade Emperor Wuhou to stop the war, and his knowledge and ambition are not bad, and there has been no shortage of virtuous ministers since ancient times, and the concept of the people's nobility and gentlemen's light has always been there.
It's just that there aren't many monarchs who are willing to adopt it.
But putting this aside, Cui Fu Yin always knew the original owner's grandfather and father, Li Yewu secretly reminded himself that he would have to act more restrained in the future and not fly like that.
Otherwise, if Cui Fuyin finds out, he will have to bother to lie.
But at this time, Cui Fuyin obviously didn't think about it so much, he just cared about how the descendants of the former teacher were doing.
It stands to reason that if his teacher had not been dismissed, it would be reasonable to use Li Yewu's family as the princess, but now she only has the name of a little lady, and it is not too good to think of them.
Just when Cui Fuyin was thinking about it, Li Yewu spoke.
"My parents died when I was young, and I was the only one in the family."
Cui Fuyin's heart was sour, although he had thought that Li Yewu's life was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
"Alas, the students have been excluded from the court for these years because of their unfilial piety, and they have not been able to help the teacher, which is really guilty."
"Don't say that, you have been outside the regime all these years and have been affected by our Li family."
Cui Fuyin waved his hand with emotion: "Everything has passed, although I have not been able to get close to the Jinluan Palace in this life, but I have lived to this age unharmed because I am far away from the court, it can be regarded as a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse." ”
Cui Fu Yin Yuan, who is accustomed to being reluctant and cannot get ahead in everything, is very opposed to Li Yewu's paid conscription.
However, after knowing her identity, Cui Fuyin changed her mind.
"Let the old man help his wife in the last few years, which can be regarded as repaying the teacher's kindness."
Li Yewu didn't expect such a turnaround, and was surprised and delighted.
In this way, thanks to the kindness of his grandfather, whom he had never met, Li Yewu included Cui Fuyin in the establishment.
Without the slightest delay, he reported the paid conscription notice as quickly as possible.
……
Speaking of hurried, hurry back to the countryside and tell your relatives that the palace is going to recruit a large number of miscellaneous servants.
The family finally saw their children returning, and before they could rejoice, they heard about the conscription.
Everyone couldn't help but look embarrassed: "Seeing that the spring ploughing is over, we will be forced to do it at this time, what should we do with the spring ploughing." ”
Most of the people chose to go to the Taiqicheng refugee slum, and only a few people stayed in their hometowns to farm.
The land is already vast and sparsely populated, and if there is a conscription at this time, there will be no one to farm.
"Isn't it usually the end of summer or early winter that is forced to serve?"
Although it is said that the time of conscription is determined by the officials, the yamen generally does not arrange conscription during the spring plowing and autumn harvest period, unless it is an urgent task.
But there will be no flash floods and no droughts, what kind of project to do!
Everyone shook their heads again and again, muttering that they couldn't live this day, and it seemed that they had to go to the refugee slum.
Dawang hurriedly explained.
"Father, you are mistaken! This time the conscription was different, the princess said that anyone who signed up for the conscription would get 200 yuan a day, and it would also include food and accommodation. ”
"What?" The crowd's eyes widened.
"Is there still money for conscription?"
"No...... No way? ”
"Really! The princess herself told us that she allowed us to go home on vacation, and let you know. ”
"Two hundred wen a day? OMG......"
"What, how much can the refugee slum get every month?" Mother couldn't help but ask the eldest brother.
The eldest brother scratched his head and turned his back like a stream.
"The refugee slum provides a monthly subsidy of 120 wen, 30 catties of rice grain, and a quarterly money for fun, beef and mutton for the New Year, and so on."
The family is well aware of the welfare policies of the refugee slums.
I don't blame them, after all, many of the neighbors in the same village have entered the refugee slum, and there are many exchanges among them.
Of course, everyone also has the idea of going to the refugee slum if they can't get along, so they pay special attention to the situation over there.
However, now everyone is stunned by paid forced labor, and the slums have no light at all.
"That's a thousand times better than the welfare of the slums! And there is food and shelter, what are you waiting for, let's quickly pack our things and go. ”
"Huh? Stopped cultivating? ”
"What else do you cultivate, six taels of silver a month, how much money can you get a year? Let's not break the ground! ”
Seeing that his father couldn't wait to report to Taiqi City immediately, Dawang couldn't cry or laugh.
"Father, the princess said that the construction period of this conscription is only 1-3 months, not the whole year."
"Ah......" Dawang's father was a little disappointed, thinking that this was a long-term job.
Grandpa Dawang smiled and spit out the weeds in his mouth: "What do you want, it's not bad to be able to work for a month with such a good welfare, let's go with a family of seven, then there will be more than forty taels!" ”
"Also, the princess still has food and shelter, which is great."
Usually everyone serves as a servant, but they all bring their own dry food and tools, as for tired and sleepy, there is only a greenhouse to cover the dew, don't think about anything else.
Everyone decided to go over the whole family.
"The conditions given by the princess are so good, isn't the task difficult?"
"Uh...... I haven't heard of this, the princess just said that anyone who can build a house and want to work can come over. ”
"Can we women go?" Da Wang Niang was a little nervous
"It should be possible, otherwise the princess won't let everyone who wants to come."
While the family was talking, a neighbor came over.
"I heard that Dawang is back, why is the family here for a meeting?"
Dawang's father glanced at his son embarrassedly, not sure if this matter should be kept secret, he didn't dare to say nonsense, only uh-huh-ahhh
Compared with Dawang's father, Dawang is much more straightforward, how to tell his family before, how to tell his neighbors.
When the neighbors heard about this benefit, where could they still sit still? Hurry back and tell the master.
The head of the house told the old lady Zhao next door, and the old lady Zhao passed the news to her mother's house again......
In this way, the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission of paid forced labor soon spread in the county towns and villages.
However, as the spread became more and more widespread, the villagers' sanity slowly returned, and they couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the matter.
200 ...... a day Is pie in the sky real?
There must be some conspiracy in this, right?
"In the end, it's hearsay, it's best to go to the county government to ask, if it's true, the county government will definitely issue a conscription order."
"Yes, yes, it's better to ask, if the county master doesn't know about it, then let's not go."
"That's right, it's better to be careful."
Just do it, and everyone ran to the yamen overnight.
Coincidentally, the county magistrates in various places have just gotten the latest edict.
Seeing this "paid conscription" order, not to mention that the villagers didn't believe it, the county commanders were also stunned.
It is said that the king is a loser, and the princess is even more outrageous than the king!
