Chapter 1154: Those Changes Always Shock People's Hearts
This village is currently in the state after the restructuring, this village is called Niujia Village, but it is not because the people in the village are surnamed Niu, but because this village used to be a famous cattle village, and many of the surrounding villages have purchased cattle from here.
So gradually, this place was also called Niujia Village.
Although a lot of cattle have been sold here, Niujia Village is not very rich, after all, it has just changed the dynasty not long ago, and it has not been many years since Datang was stable.
But because of a series of policies of His Royal Highness King Qin, the life of Niujia Village in the past two years has been much better, at least, the agricultural tax has not only been abolished, but also subsidized, which is an unprecedented thing for the people.
I didn't dare to dream this in my dreams, let alone think about it?
Not to mention that many people in the village have gone to the vicinity of Chang'an to work and make money, and I heard that a person's annual salary is enough for a family's annual income.
Shan Lin was the first batch to go out to work to make money, thinking that the Shan Lin family was the poorest in the entire Niujia Village, because there was an old lady in the family who dragged him down, and he needed to take medicine all year round, although the medicine was not expensive, but it was naturally a burden for ordinary people's families.
And Shan Lin's mother only has one son, so this family has a difficult time, until Shan Lin heard that the outside world can work, he discussed with his wife at home and went out.
As a result, for more than half a year, he almost got back their rations for the previous year, and he not only got the rations back, but also brought back a medical book, called "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", which is said to have been researched and compiled by His Royal Highness Sun Simiao and Sun Zhenren.
In order to let all the people of Datang solve some daily incurable diseases even if they don't know medical skills, after taking back this medical book, Shan Lin didn't go out, because his wife was too tired to take care of the elderly and children at home alone.
Relying on the literacy he learned in the factory, Shan Lin began to treat these villagers in ten miles and eight townships, charging only the simplest medicine money, and sometimes even prescribing only prescriptions, and letting the villagers buy the medicinal materials themselves, or go to the surrounding mountains to collect them.
It's just that everyone knows the situation of his Shan Lin family, so they are embarrassed to let him see a doctor in vain, after all, it is impossible for Na Langzhong to treat ordinary people for free, and he will have to charge some soup and medicine.
Because if the life of this Langzhong doctor can't go on and moves away, who will treat them? Therefore, no one who came to see the doctor came empty-handed.
I didn't bring much stuff, but I brought some of it, whether it was grain or other game.
The life of the Shan Lin family is naturally better.
In addition, the lives of the surrounding people have become better because of our Datang policy, because of the high-yield and improved varieties provided by His Royal Highness, the quyuan plows, columbus carts, etc., the people have surplus money and surplus grain in their hands. Naturally, there are more things to give.
This year, there are still more people who are grateful to Dade.
So this Shan Lin later simply put away the consultation fee and the cost of decoction and medicine. Accepting these is not because his heart has changed, on the contrary, he doesn't want the villagers to break the bank, because let others give, some people who know how to be grateful will always give more, and some people who are a little poor will give less.
In the long run, people's hearts are naturally uneven, and Shan Lin, who has gone out to work and work, also understands some of this aspect, so he simply formulated the consultation fee and the soup medicine fee, which is very low, much lower than letting others give him.
In this way, if someone else brings something over, Shan Lin can also sternly refuse and only accept the part he should receive.
Datang now provides medicinal herb shops in various counties to sell medicinal materials, Shan Lin goes to buy a batch of medicinal materials every three or five times, and the small clinics in the village are getting better and better.
It is also because of this that two years ago, when His Royal Highness opened a school for the people of the whole country and encouraged the people to send their children to school, he understood the benefits of literacy, and had already given his children Shan Lin, who had already given their children literacy according to the literacy methods they learned when they were literate in the factory, did not hesitate to send their three children in.
This behavior caused many villagers to be puzzled, because the Shan Lin family still had their own land, and his eldest child was thirteen years old at the time, and he was already a good hand in the countryside and could help in the fields.
Shan Lin has two sons and a daughter, the youngest daughter was only seven years old at the time, even a seven-year-old child can help cook rice and porridge at home (don't bar, when I was a child, my sister was six years old, she would cook porridge for the family, cook rice, and make her own fire. At that time, it was still the kind of rural cauldron), feeding pigs, feeding chickens and ducks.
As a result, Shan Lin sent three children in at once, and the work in the field can be done? It can only be that the couple got up early and worked late, and they didn't know how tired they were before than before.
No one in the village understood, and no one else sent their children to study in that county.
Some time ago, His Royal Highness said that there was a nationwide exam, because the eldest son of the Shan Lin family could barely keep up with both his age and the progress of his studies, and then with this qualification, he was sent in.
During this time, the exam results came out, and Shan Lin didn't have any hope, he just felt that he was just literate, and he could have today's results, so reading and literacy was obviously useful, and it was right to let his children read more books.
It's just that who knows that someone suddenly came to the entrance of the village today with gongs and drums, and it was someone from the township who came, and the leader was Jiao Wuma, the security officer of the security army in charge of their village.
It was followed by two young-looking officials, and the sound of gongs and drums attracted most of the villagers.
Although it is summer now, the busy farming has just passed, and the people have a certain amount of rest, and everyone is attracted to come over at once, and when these people come to the door of the house where a red gourd flag is hung in Shan Lin, the people in the village who are watching the excitement have also gathered.
"Ah, Goro, dare you ask this?" Shan Lin asked with some surprise.
Jiao Wuma's face was a little pockmarked, but he was a good person, he laughed and said, "Haha, Shan Lin, you kid can't be good-looking!" Your family has just come out! In this national examination, he was rated as second class by His Royal Highness, and he wants to be an official! You can now receive 300 wen per month! After the two-year internship period, the monthly income of regular officials can continue to increase, and when the time comes, it will be of a higher grade, which is much higher than that of me, a security officer! ”
Jiao Wuma's voice was so loud that almost all the villagers around him heard it.
It was precisely because of hearing it that all the villagers were in an uproar! 300 wen a month now?! Wouldn't that be a lot of money in that year?! And he can be an official, he is of the grade, and the monthly money will be higher in the future?!
Not to mention the villagers, even Shan Lin was blinded, and his son's exam was prescribed by His Royal Highness that all those who met the standards must take the exam, otherwise Shan Lin would not be ready to let him take the exam.
I didn't expect ...... How can his son be promising?!
