Chapter 1156: The People's Reaction
Whether it is a single family or something else, it is like having wings, and this news quickly shocked this small village, and it can be said that in less than half a day, the whole village knew about it.
As soon as the messenger left, Shan Lin's second son and daughter, who were playing outside, ran back, and as soon as the two of them came back, they looked at Shan Gang with excitement and said, "Big brother, big brother, you are so good, can you show us your admission letter." ”
"Yes." Shan Gang smiled, although this admission letter was very important and precious to him, but he did not hide it, but carefully took it out and handed it to his younger siblings.
"What do you see, can you understand? Hurry up and put it away. But Shan Gang's mother couldn't help but scold, in her opinion, it was the glory of her eldest son, the glory of their family, not to mention that it was written by His Royal Highness himself, of course, it should be preserved.
"Ah Niang, it doesn't matter, they will be careful, besides, if they can study harder after reading it, they may be more promising than me in the future, and His Royal Highness will definitely give them an admission letter at that time." Shan Gang said with a smile.
Shan Gang's mother hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said with a serious face: "Look at it, you can't break it, otherwise I will beat you to death." ”
"Got it, A-Niang." His brother and sister carefully opened the admission letter, they were literate, and they could understand the contents.
Looking at the two serious little heads, Shan Gang didn't know why he suddenly felt as if he had become a lot more mature, and he felt very relieved at once, because he knew that he was not the smartest in the family, and his younger brother and sister were much smarter than him, and the same was true in terms of learning.
It's just that there was no place to teach them in the past, but now that there is a school, I believe that they may be more productive than themselves in the future.
In the evening, after the three children rested, Shan Gang's mother finished everything and laid the house on the kang.
"Child, mother, I may have to leave in just a few days, this time, it is estimated that I may not be able to go back to my home in a month or two or even a few months, the second child and the little girl have to go to school, and it will be too bitter for you to be the only one at home, so I have an idea." Shan Lin hesitated and said.
"What do you think, you say." Shan Gang's mother asked suspiciously.
"Why don't we give our fields to others in the village to plant? For example, the old Wu family, their family has seven children, and they are all sons, but they have always been hungry before, and they haven't even asked for a wife. That is, thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness, he exempted us from paying taxes for a few years, not to mention, and gave us money back for selling grain. It is estimated that the old Wu family is going to starve to death. ”
"Their family has enough labor, but they can't become a family, and they can't set up a household, so it's better to contract our land to them to plant, they only need to give us a certain ration every year, do you think it's okay?"
"In this way, the money I earn as a lang is enough to support you and our mother, you don't have to work so hard, just concentrate on this little thing in the family, and you can also help me deal with some herbs, and before he got married, his monthly money can also be used as a subsidy for the family. If he gets married in a few years, it will be enough to build him a big house. Shan Lin said what he thought.
This method of contracting fields for the people in the village to plant, Shan Lin has also heard of it outside, and now that Datang has workers, many people in the family have gone to work as workers.
The money earned in a year is much more than the money earned by operating these lands, and there is no need to watch the weather for food, many people are willing to work as workers, and the fields in their homes are not cultivated, so they simply contract to some families in the village who have a large number of people, but have not yet had a single independent household.
They can also plant, as long as they are given some rations, and the rest of the food is each other's.
This kills two birds with one stone.
It's not that they don't want more, it's just that there is no shortage of fields in Datang now, as long as they can set up a household, they can get fields, so this field is not so short, and people are naturally reluctant to contract if they want more.
"But...... If our son finds a beautiful lady in the future, then the house to be built for him should be very big, or if he wants to buy a house in the city, let's not farm, is it enough? Our field can be sold for a lot of money every year. Shan Lin's wife was still a little distressed.
"It's okay, if it doesn't work then, let him work his own, if you continue to do this, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it, so I'd rather not have this money than if you're tired." Shan Lin said seriously.
Although his wife was not pretty, Shan Lin did not want her to be sick.
"That'...... It's all up to you. ”
The Shan family was discussing how to subcontract the fields, and many people in the village couldn't sleep tonight, and what happened to the Shan Lin family during the day can be said to have stimulated the nerves of everyone in the village.
"The head of the house, Shan Langzhong is not going to hold a banquet tomorrow, let's bring something over, bring more, this is also the rule in the village, you ask Shan Langzhong by the way, what are the requirements for sending children to school? Our children are no worse than Shan Gang, although they go to school later, but they will definitely be able to get ahead in the future. ”
"Okay, I'll go and ask tomorrow, the Shan family has caught up, if it weren't for His Highness, would they be able to have today? But it doesn't matter, our children will not be bad in the future. ”
……
"Tell me about you, I said at the beginning that I would send our children to study, so what His Highness did could be wrong? You have to let me, now look at people, how beautiful? ”
"Why do you blame me, didn't you insist on it at the beginning? If you insist on it, I might agree to it. Besides, it's not too late, he's still young, and it's still too late to send him to study. ”
"It's too late, hum, Shan Gang will be a big official in the future, let's just start, besides, the position of being an official is a radish and a pit, how many people in the world will go to study at that time? Just in our village, you can look at it, and many people will be sent to study tomorrow. ”
"So what do you say? I don't want to send it to study. ”
"Go, go, no matter what, we have to send it, this time we have to follow His Highness."
……
"If you are in charge, let's not send your children to school."
"Send a fart, Shan Lin is shit luck, it's the first wave of this opportunity, we were born to eat in the ground, do you still want to fly out of a golden phoenix in the chicken coop? They are all fools, and when they saw that the Shan Lin family was out, they wanted to send it over and send it over. ”
"I don't want to think about it, how many positions are lacking in the position of officials? Everyone wants to be an official, our children can have that ability, if you want me to say, it's better to farm well at home, and now there are no taxes, wait for two years to tell him a daughter-in-law, let him set up a household by himself, isn't that better than studying? This kind of field is more secure! It's true that there is a field at home, this is the words left by the ancestors. ”
"But...... I still think ......"
"What do you think,, you know a fart, sleep."
