came with them, as well as Han Zhang.

With Han Zhang's comfort, these women calmed down a little, and no longer looked frightened before, but their eyes were still full of apprehension and uneasiness, and they didn't know what kind of ending was waiting for them.

Han Zhangshi gently pulled the corner of Han Zhen's clothes, and said softly: "Erlang, I just asked, these sisters are hard-working people, and they are often beaten and scolded, so don't embarrass them." ”

"Ben didn't want to embarrass them."

After replying to Han Zhang's sentence, Han Zhen glanced at a circle of several women and ordered: "One person receives the same money, and each of them goes home." ”

Hearing that they could not only go home, but also get the money consistently, several women were overjoyed, and after thanking them, they followed Ma Sangou to get the money.

It's just that the fat cook and the two little maids didn't leave, and stood in place with a lonely face.

Seeing Han Zhen's puzzled eyes, the fat cook smiled bitterly and explained: "Xiao Langjun, my family is gone, and the two of them have been bought as maids since they were children, and there is no place to go." ”

Han Zhen casually arranged: "Since you are homeless, I will give you a few acres of barren land and farm in the village." ”

"We're just going to serve people, don't ...... Won't farm. One of the little maids said timidly.

They were sold to the Wang family since they were young, and they learned how to serve their masters and where they would do farm work.

Let them farm, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will starve to death.

Seeing this, Han Zhen had no choice but to say: "Then stay and work, and pay 300 yuan a month." ”

"Thank you, Alang!"

The three women hurriedly thanked them, and even their titles changed from Xiao Langjun to Ah Lang.

After placing them, Han Zhen waved his hand: "Take me around the house." ”

The killing was in a hurry just now, and he hadn't carefully looked at the mansion outside the king.

The two little maids immediately said, "Ah Lang, madam, please come in." ”

"I ...... I'm not a lady. ”

Han Zhang's blushed at the title of the two little maids, and waved his hand again and again.

Han Zhen relieved the siege and said: "This is my sister-in-law." ”

The little maid hurriedly changed her words: "Oh, it turned out to be the eldest lady." ”

Under the leadership of the two little maids, Han Zhen and Han Zhang walked into the side door.

It is a standard three-in, three-out mansion with a closed door all year round, and is only opened when worshipping ancestors or welcoming important guests, such as Xu Zhushu and Changzhi County.

In general, it is through the side door.

As soon as you enter, there is a gatehouse on the left.

One of the round-faced little maids introduced: "Ah Lang, this row is an inverted house, and the family and servants live here. ”

At first, the two little maids were still very reserved.

However, seeing that Han Zhen and Han Zhang seemed to get along very well, they gradually talked more, like two little sparrows, chattering.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, it was the time to be lively.

During the conversation, Han Zhen also learned their names.

The surname of the round face is Fang, and the nickname is Sansan, according to her, because she was born on the third day of the first month of March, so her father and mother gave her such a nickname.

Another little girl with a melon seed face is surnamed Jiang, and because she is the fourth oldest in the family, she is called the fourth mother.

Stepping into the weeping flower gate, entering the second courtyard, the area suddenly became several times more spacious.

"This is the main hall, and on either side are the transepts. To the east is the kitchen, and to the west is the storeroom. ”

Hearing the words "warehouse", Han Zhen paused and ordered, "Take me to the warehouse to have a look." ”

Fang Sansan was puzzled: "Ah Lang, I don't have a treasury key. ”

It just so happened that at this time, Ma Sangou led a few maids with money out of the backyard, and when he saw a few of them standing in front of the warehouse, he took out a bunch of keys and handed them over: "Second Brother Han is looking for the key?" ”

"Hmm!"

Han Zhen nodded, took the keys and tried them one by one.

When the third key was changed, there was a crisp sound and the door lock was opened.

Walking into the warehouse, I saw the high stacked grain bags.

After a rough count, it was estimated that there were no less than two hundred stones.

One stone in the Northern Song Dynasty is 92.5 Song jin, and two hundred stones are more than 18,000 jin.

It was a basic operation for landlords and wealthy merchants to hoard grain, and once they encountered a year of great disaster, they could sell the grain at several times or even dozens of times the price, earning huge profits.

So much food was enough for him to pull up a team of 1,000 people.

And in more than half a month, the wheat and rice in the field will be harvested one after another, and another wave of grain will be harvested.

But now I can only think about it, although there is food, but there is no one!

There are more than 300 people in the whole village, excluding the elderly, children and women, and there are less than 100 young and strong men, and they still have to cultivate the land.

Forget it, take your time.

After leaving the storeroom and locking the door again, the group walked towards the last courtyard.

The last courtyard is the residence of the master's family, and it is also the largest and most spacious of the three courtyards, with a variety of flowers planted in the courtyard, a three-row main house, and east and west wings on both sides.

Han Zhen pointed to the main room; "Sister-in-law, you just live here."

"Erlang live, I'll go to the east wing to live."

Han Zhang said goodbye and led the two little maids to the east wing.

Seeing this, Han Zhen had no choice but to step into the main room.

The main room has three rows, with a study on the left and a small storeroom on the right.

The small treasury was full of copper coins, to say the least, there were one or two thousand, plus silk cloth, jewelry, etc., even if you don't count the fields and grain, there are more than three thousand floating wealth alone.

obviously has so much money, but he doesn't even want to give ten rewards, and he really picks the door to open the door, and he gets home.

At this moment, the entire mansion was in shambles, and there were large patches of blood on the ground.

Under the scorching sun and high temperature, these blood stains suddenly emitted a fishy smell, and at the same time attracted countless flies.

After inspecting the house, Han Zhen took the lead and led a group of people to start cleaning up the house and cleaning the bloodstains.

By the time the busyness was over, the time had come to the evening unconsciously.

At this time, the villagers were busy with their farm work and returned to their homes.

What happened this afternoon is tantamount to turning the world upside down for these villagers.

In less than two or three days, I couldn't digest it at all.

In a thatched hut in the east of the village, a woman is cooking wheat rice in a clay pot, while her husband is chopping wood in the yard before it gets dark.

The woman absentmindedly filled the pot with firewood and asked, "Daddy, what do you say if the government calls?" ”

The man said in a sullen voice: "I called to find them, and they killed them, so what does it have to do with us?" ”

The woman asked, "Is it true that there will be no taxes this year?" ”

Hearing this, the man's chopping of wood froze for a moment, and he said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Xu is true, I heard that they also gave money to Li Changfa!" ”

"How much did you send?"

"Five hundred wen."

"Five hundred wen is not much, they occupy the family property outside the king, why are they so stingy?" The woman muttered in a low voice.

The man scolded: "What do you know, every month, this is called a long stream." ”

"It's every month, and it's going to be ten dollars a year!"

The woman exclaimed, and then said angrily, "I don't see any money for our family." ”

"The chief wants to help others, what can you do?"

The man scolded his daughter-in-law, and couldn't help but look at the blue brick and red tile house halfway up the mountain.

He didn't want the officers and soldiers to come, and he didn't expect to be able to pay him, as long as those people could keep their promises, he felt that with his own strength, he would definitely be able to make his family live a good life......
