The servants of the imperial court have a difference in silver and strength.

For example, the government servants in the yamen are silver messengers, which are sent to the people, and the people give money, and the government hires the servants themselves. And the strength is as poor as the door, the jailer, the shopper, the bucket level, the storehouse, and the warehouse man all have to be filled by the people in person. To summarize simply, the silver is poor, and the money is done; The force is poor, and the body is lì line.

Lin Yanchao remembered the Ming Dynasty's conscription system and said: "It stands to reason that the New Year is not yet celebrated, and the yamen will be reassigned during the New Year, and the current dispatch is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Lin Qianqian said: "Mr. Xie said that there is no accurate matter in the affairs of the government, and temporary assignment is also a common thing. ”

"I already knew, fortunately I was prepared this time, what kind of service did he send to our family this time?"

"Two days ago, Mr. Xie came to the door and said that what was sent to our family was Changfengcang's warehouse, and he would go to work in the autumn." Lin Qianqian lowered his head and said.

"What a Xie Zongjia, he didn't care about any affection, and he wanted to put our Lin family to death!" Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sneer.

He originally thought that Mr. Xie would send hard labor such as dam husbands, soldiers, and river repairers to his family at most, but he didn't expect that it would be a warehouse that could ruin people's homes.

Lin Yanchao is not the first brother when he first crossed over, in the past, he still thought that it was a beautiful difference to work in the granary as a kuding. There is no saying in officialdom that it is better to be an official than to be a prostitute (warehouse), and it is better to be a prostitute than to be good (grain).

However, this benefit is within the system and does not belong to temporary workers such as the poor force. If there is any deficit in the warehouse, not only the treasury will be compensated, but if the officials ask for it, no matter whether it is public or private, the money must be out of the pocket. Nine out of ten bankrupts who have been sent to the treasury by forced labor.

At this moment, Xu Yanchao remembered what Lin Chengyi said, and it was really reasonable. There is no fame in you, as a small citizen, the officials dare to difficult you, the small officials dare to difficult you, the squire dares to difficult you, and the elder dares to difficult you.

Don't blame others for you, it's all because you're not strong enough.

"Brother Chao, don't be angry. In advance, Mr. Xie also sent someone to pass the word, saying that things are not without room for change, as long as our old man, uncle, go to apologize to the eldest mother, and take the eldest mother home, we will be eliminated from the errand, otherwise the two families will be reconciled, but at the beginning, the eldest lady accompanied the dowry and makeup, and the private wealth saved must be returned to the Xie family, and the life extension must also be returned to the Xie family, and the surname Xie will be changed. He can also be the master of the errand service. ”

Lin Yanchao understands, the Xie family is forcing his family to obey.

To be a library, this is the way to break the house, and most people will not choose. As for Heli, not only the Lin family has to lose a lot of money, but even the grandson has to get in. Lin Yanshou is the grandson of the Lin family, Lin Gao, uncle, would rather break the family than give the eldest grandson to others.

So, there is only a second way that seems acceptable.

In other words, it is nothing, just think that the wife is angry and runs to her parents' house, and the husband goes back to coax, puts down his body, and accompanies a few good words. In the eyes of the uncle, who has always been unshaken, this is simply not a problem. But Mr. Xie made a condition that even Lin Gaozhu would go with him, which would be unusual.

The father-in-law apologized to the eldest daughter-in-law, and the elders and juniors did not compensate, what kind of system did this become? This is to pull out Lin Gao's dignity and face, which is equivalent to breaking his backbone, and he will never be able to raise his head in front of his Xie family from now on.

"People live a breath and a tree lives a skin, and I want my grandfather to apologize, I want to be beautiful, what did the uncle and the third uncle say?"

"They said they would wait until Grandpa came back."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but stretch out his hand to support his forehead, sure enough, in this family, since the eldest mother was kicked out of the house, there was no one to take the idea.

At night, the lights were on, and the uncle and the third uncle returned home.

Both of them looked tired, the third uncle was not even in the mood to farm, and the uncle was yawning and looking unenergetic.

"Shallow, has grandpa come with news?"

"Not yet."

"The tide is back."

"Well, uncle, the third uncle will eat first, I have something to say." Lin Yanchao said.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's eat a full meal first." The third uncle didn't have half an opinion.

The family is sitting at the dinner table.

Lin Qianqian brought a pot of clam soup, as well as a plate of wild vegetables, and the porridge in the pot was also thin. Clams are the cheapest, and a pot in the provincial capital costs only a few pennies.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised, when did life at home become so difficult.

Lin Yanchao was used to living a hard life after crossing over, but Lin Yanshou, who was pampered on weekdays, was making trouble: "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat." ”

"No meat."

"Then I'm going to eat fish, I'm going to eat fish."

"There are no fish either."

"Then I want a mother, I want a mother."

The uncle threw his chopsticks and shouted, "Don't eat, get out of here!" ”

Lin Yanshou cried at the moment: "Dad doesn't love me, I want my mother, I want my mother." Lin Yanchao thought that in the past, Yanshou was the treasure of the family, and the uncle never scolded him, but now.

Lin Qianqian also showed an apologetic look and said: "I just accepted the New Year's income a while ago, and the family has no money to be in charge." ”

The year of the year belongs to the three offices of Lijia, which is the heavy tax of the county in addition to the summer tax and autumn grain, and the year of the year is to supply the court with local soil. The county government borrowed this name and apportioned money to the people.

The uncle and the third uncle both hung their heads, there was no production in the field at the moment, and the third uncle had no money to take home, and the uncle, it would be good not to expect him to take money from home. This year, the family relied on Lin Gaozhu to work as an errand in the shop, taking public food silver, and Lin Qianqian to play mats, in exchange for some money to be in charge, and to provide Lin Yanchao and Lin Yanshou to study.

On weekdays, Lin Gao works as an errand in the shop, has the privilege of being exempted from one stone, and has a harvest of fifteen acres of land, and his life was okay in the past, but after the water passed this year, the days have been very tight.

Lin Yanchao comforted Lin Qianqian and said: "It's okay to be shallow, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, it's good to eat some, your sake lees clams, clear soup clams, I love to eat them." ”

"Don't say it, it's not shallow's fault, it's all your uncle and I are useless, so I can only give you such a side dish." As soon as the uncle put down his chopsticks, he blamed himself.

"Big brother, don't talk about it." The third uncle also sighed.

The eldest uncle and the third uncle are both kind-hearted people, but it is difficult for my nephew to comfort them.

Before Lin Yanchao could speak, Lin Qianqian said: "Uncle, don't think about it, you see so many clams cooked, peel off the white clam meat inside, or a meat dish." ”

"Yes, people say that the poor can't eat three taels of meat, so let's show them." Listening to Lin Yanchao say this, everyone was in a better mood.

Lin Qianqian smiled and said: "Not only can the clam meat be eaten, you see that the clam shell is boiled in soup, green and green, it is a good soup, in the past, Brother Chao had night sweats at night, and a bowl of soup was eliminated from the disease." ”

Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian talked about the benefits of clams one by one, and Lin Yanshou's eyes widened in surprise when he heard it, and he picked up the chopsticks and said in disbelief: "Dad, Dad, I want to eat clams, I want to eat clams!" Help me clip! ”

Lin Qianqian immediately used a spoon to take a large spoonful of clams from the pot and put them next to Lin Yanshou's bowl. Lin Yanshou clicked on the ground, like eating melon seeds, opened the clam shell and ate it.

The uncle glanced at Lin Qianqian with emotion, and scolded Lin Yanshou again: "Where is there such a side dish as a meal, a bite of rice and a mouthful of food!" ”

The third uncle said: "Big brother, there has been little rain these days, and all the vegetables in the field have been cooked, so it will be fine after a while." "Great

After slowing down this paragraph, Lin Yanshou ate happily, and everyone no longer frowned.

Lin Qianqian put the peeled clams one by one in his bowl. Although Lin Yanchao felt that although the current home was coarse tea and light rice, the atmosphere was good.

It is said that there is love to drink water, but if you can, it is better to eat abalone.

Uncle said: "Chaoyu, what do you say you have to tell us?" ”

Lin Yanchao immediately took out the documents of the county government to exempt him from forced labor and handed it to his uncle.

After seeing it, the uncle showed an incredible look and said, "Chaoyu, how did you get it?" With this, what are we afraid of the Xie family doing? ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Uncle, you can rest assured now." ”

The third uncle was also very happy when he heard that Lin Yanchao had obtained the document of preferential exemption from forced labor, and the haze that had shrouded his face for a few days was swept away, and he slapped the table and said: "The Xie family is too deceitful, I will show this document to Mr. Xie tomorrow, and I will be angry with him." ”

Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "Third uncle, don't be busy giving it first." ”

"Why?" Uncle, the third uncle asked in unison.

"We take it now, Mr. Xie has already taken precautions, maybe he will find some other ways to harm us, it is better to wait for a while, he will entrust someone first, handle things clearly and come to the door, and then we will sue him, we will not go!"

The eldest uncle and the third uncle glanced at each other, and said in unison again: "Yanchao, you are really bad!" ”

On the second day, Lin Yanchao studied at home and solved the matter of conscription, but it was only temporary. The Xie family has been bullied, and it is simply not pleasant to return a knife.

But where to start.

Just as Lin Yanchao was thinking, someone outside the door shouted: "Oh no, no, the people of Miaofeng Village are fighting with my village." ”

"Hit the fuck."

Lin Yanchao walked to the door and opened the door, but when he saw the people in the village, he scolded his mother, then picked up the flat pole and hoe, and rushed to the entrance of the village.

Miaofeng Village and Hongshan Village in Yong'an were originally a village, but after the official road leading to Hongshan Bridge was built, there was a road on both sides, and over time, they became a village.

In Hongshan Village, the main Lin family, and Miaofeng Village, mainly the Xie family.

There was a lot of friction between the two villages because of water and soil, and there were often fights between villagers.

In the past, Lin Yanchao didn't care about this matter, but now he moved his mind and said: "Shallow, I'll take a look!" ”

When Lin Qianqian heard this, he immediately put down the work in his hand and said hurriedly: "Brother Chao, about their adult fight, what are you messing with, don't go." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "I'm just going to take a look, it's difficult, and I can't do it with them." ”

"No, no, no!" Lin Qianqian's tears were about to flow out, his mouth was bulging, he was dragging Lin Yanchao's clothes in his hand, and he kept shaking his head.

"Shallow, let go, don't worry, I'll be optimistic from afar, don't mix it!"

Lin Qianqian saw Lin Yanchao's positive color, but he couldn't help it: "Then you promise me that there can't be anything." If the people in the village are fighting, you just run back, don't look! ”

"Hmm. Well. Got it. After Lin Yanchao hurriedly agreed absentmindedly, he ran out of the door.

"Brother Chao, be careful!" Lin Qianqian said after him, his eyes full of worry.
