In fact, although the villagers in Hedong and Luoluo have a little energy in the current situation between Heluo, they are actually very limited.

This can be seen from the location of Fang Wang's house, Fang's mansion in Luoyang is in the south of the new city, and it is already some distance from Luoshui. Nowadays, the pattern of Luoyang City is the inner noble and the outer cheap, and most of the coastal areas along the Luoshui are the homes of the nouveau riche or the rural and wealthy people who enter the capital, and the surrounding areas are mostly civilians.

Although the location of this mansion is not good, the area is spacious, covering more than one area, and it is still more than enough for hundreds of people in the Fang family to live here. Of course, the scale is not as grand as Fang's family business in Hedong Township, but it is better to be stable, and you don't have to tighten your heartstrings and even sleep like in previous years, and adapt at any time. If you are depressed and leave your hometown, you can still have tiles to cover your head, which is already a very good situation.

On the way to lead Xue Tao back to his home, Fang Wang also told Xue Tao a little about his family's living conditions in Luoyang.

Fang Wang led his family into Luo, but he did not abandon everything in the township, and there were still some family members who stayed in the township and operated miserably, but it was difficult to give assistance to the Luoyang clan.

Fang's introduction to the country's wealthy portal, although it is not known for family learning, but it is more or less coarse and literary. After entering Luoyang City, Fang Wang first made his own dedication to the power gate, but there was no response, and then he was instructed to participate in the examination of the subordinate officials of the Xingtai, and now the father and son are all serving as officials in different temples under the Xingtai.

"In the past, I was tired of learning, but fortunately, I was able to know righteousness and righteousness in my parents' whip, and now I can make a living."

Speaking of this, Fang Wang laughed at himself, and he didn't expect that one day he would need to operate a knife and pen to make a living.

After Xue Tao heard this, he only felt that Fang Wang's situation was miserable, and he felt guilty in his heart, and at the same time he was secretly dissatisfied: "Jingyuan, you always had to be a townsman in your early years, and there was no shortage of talents, and you could only be used so humbly in Luoyi, and that General Shen was really a little arrogant when he treated my fellow villagers in Hedong." ”

Fang Wang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and only after a moment did he shake his head and smile: "Brother Shi, you have misunderstood, now there are many people like me who have lost their homeland in Heluo, and I also know that I have the geometry, and I dare not imagine that I am narrowly better than the rest." The use of officials on the platform is really to take care of us and other small Han people, otherwise I don't know how many starvations will fall inside and outside this city. ”

Xue Tao had this misunderstanding purely because of his ignorance of Luoyang's personnel, before the two Zhao contended, there was indeed no shortage of them who were based on the countryside and the townsmen were indeed wooed, and they were often allowed to use the county guard and the general's number, but it was just a false name, not only did they not get any supplies, but they had to be frequently blackmailed because of this number.

Now it seems that Fang Wang's father and son are all small officials with knives and pens, and they are used by whips, but in terms of real treatment, the small officials of Xingtai are especially the generals of Yuting.

There are not many of them for the purpose of these officials, and the monthly income is between three and five days, and the rice alone is enough to feed a small family. However, these rice are not distributed in full, and half of them have to be folded into the public treasury and accumulated according to the number of months, basically between six and ten months, you can get three to fifty acres of vocational land. As long as the official examination is always qualified and can be retained, the field can be cultivated forever.

Now Xue Tao's father and son have successfully received the job field after passing the official examination, a total of hectares, Heluo is more fertile land, deducting other expenses, and the mu can be expected to receive three stones, so the annual output is between three or four hundred. For small households, this is enough to feed and clothe themselves.

There are hundreds of people in Fang's family, which is not an ordinary small household, so it is still simple to live by relying on the fields and rice. But in the job, there are still various other benefits, first of all, Xingtai often organizes and mobilizes the families of officials to participate in some non-burdensome affairs, which is part of the extra income.

But the most important thing is the monthly quota of goods and goods, that is, every month, these officials can buy a part of the goods that are controlled by the industry and are not allowed to be sold by the private sector, such as caramel and the like.

And this part of the quota, there are perennial wealthy businessmen in Heluo to buy, just the transfer of the quota of this part of the income, sometimes more than several times the rice.

In addition, there are additional subsidies, annual rewards, and most of them are in the form of quotas, and many of the benefits add up, and the annual income of Fang Wang's father and son alone can be discounted by nearly 1,000 yuan. This has even exceeded the income of years of terror and hard work in the countryside in previous years.

"Luoyi makes a living, it's really cheap. After this autumn, I also plan to release some more family members, and there is no need to tie the villagers to their sides and hinder each other. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Wang said with a smile. In Luoyang and in the snail township, the way of making a living is very different, and the township can only be safe by sheltering and helping each other, but in Luoyang, there is no such concern at all.

Keeping too many families at home will only increase the unnecessary burden, and because these shady households are not registered, a considerable part of Luoyang's government decree on the resettlement of displaced people does not involve them, and there are not many opportunities to obtain a legitimate income, which can be said to be a hindrance to both sides.

After Xue Tao heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes for a while, especially when he saw Fang Wang's contented and happy look, he couldn't help but feel more in his heart.

Their Xue family has a big business, so they naturally don't pay much attention to these benefits, but how many households are in this situation in the entire Hedong land like his family? Most of them are just inevitably hungry and cold, and they are bleak and maintained, which is simply incomparable with Fang Wang's life in Luoyang.

When he came to Fang Wang's house, Fang Wang called out his sons to visit the township chief, and then instructed his family to hold a family banquet. When he saw the wide variety and sumptuous meals on the table, Xue Tao couldn't help but marvel in his heart, this kind of meal is rare for him to enjoy once in the township!

However, Xue Tao's entry into Luo was not greedy for the benefit of his tongue, and he hastily used the meal, so he talked about the purpose of entering Luo this time, which was to purchase a batch of materials.

Speaking of this incident, I have to talk about the plague in Guanzhong in the spring of last year. The outbreak of the epidemic was hasty, and all parties in Guanzhong were unavoidable, and there were many deaths from the disease, and even the disputes between the forces of all parties from last year to the present have become peaceful.

Although Hedong is located outside Guanzhong, when Shi Sheng escaped across the border, it was inevitable that the epidemic would spread along the way, causing a lot of damage to all the people in Hedong. However, at that time, a considerable number of Guanzhong people entered Heluo in the east, and even before the Shisheng Department confronted the Tongguan Wangshi at that time, but there was no large-scale epidemic outbreak and death in Heluo.

After further investigation, all parties found out that in fact, there was also an epidemic in Heluo at that time, but soon Ge Hong, who was known as the little fairy Weng, led a group of military doctors and pharmacists to go to all sides to quickly extinguish the epidemic and find out the cause of the epidemic.

The reason for the occurrence of the epidemic is that there are many groups of Hu living together in Guanzhong, and the diet of Hu Hu is not similar to that of the Central Plains, which is odorous, greasy and difficult to remove, and accumulates in the body to block blood gas, because it is pathogenic. Moreover, the eating habits of the Hu people, even if there is no outbreak of this vicious disease, they will not live long at all.

That Mr. Ge is worthy of the name of the immortal master, not only diagnosed the disease, but also prescribed a good prescription, the most important point is to drink tea to relieve greasy ointment, and then get smooth blood and qi. In short, if the Hu people want to live a long life, they must drink more tea, otherwise even if they are as strong as Liu Yuanhai and Shi Shilong, they will go to Huangquan early, and there is no longevity.

Tea is a drink, not only Hu people are puzzled, but even many Northern Jin people are confused. Because of the northern diet, there is really no such habit. Even in Jiangdong, tea drinking was gradually popular among the upper echelons because of General Shen's vigorous advocacy.

If someone told Hu people in the past that there was an immortal thing that they had never seen before that could be used to prolong their lives, most people with normal brains would have to be suspicious. However, because of the completely different manifestations of the epidemic inside and outside Tongguan this time, everyone who was afraid of death in that plague and survived by luck ignored it.

Even if nothing else, at that time, a part of the tea flowed out from Heluo to Guanzhong, Hedong and other places, and there were indeed people who tried to drink it and survived because of it. There are even people who wear chisels and attach them, and the reason why Jiangdong Shen Weizhou is shocked is precisely because he was born in a tea country, often accompanied by wonderful things, soaked day and night, and became more and more intelligent.

Of course, this kind of argument is a bit of a mystery that is chiseled and attached, after all, in addition to Shen Weizhou, there are many stupid things in Jiangdong. But in any case, tea has been paid great attention to this item in Guanzhong and Longshang for a while, especially a large number of Hu chieftains and magnates are prepared for heavy goods and are sought to buy from many sources. Even if you don't suffer from a bad disease, who doesn't want to live for a few more years.

In fact, there is no shortage of merchants who come and go to Heluo between these regions, but they have never paid attention to tea as a commodity before. At this time, the demand everywhere has increased sharply, and the merchants will inevitably have to purchase on a large scale.

But at this time, they found that even tea in the market in Luoyang was scarce, after all, Jiangbei has never taken tea drinking as a fashion, if it weren't for the outbreak of this plague and disease, who would have thought that tea would have such a wonderful use.

Luoyang Xingtai was also quick to react, and when he realized that this was a heavy weapon to clamp down on the Hu people, he quickly brought it into control. In the past few months, whenever tea from smugglers was seized from the goods of merchants, the goods were confiscated at least or immediately beheaded, and the various channels for the circulation of tea to the north were strangled, thus further raising the price of tea.

Xue Tao came to buy tea this time, on the one hand, it was also to reserve this kind of life-saving goodstuff a little, even if his own people were not worried, there were many Hulu in the surrounding countryside, and no one could say when the next plague would break out, so he was naturally prepared.

On the other hand, it is the persecution and demand from Pingyang Shisheng. Although Shi Sheng avoided Pingyang, it was not a crime of war, especially between Pingyang, there were many miscellaneous wanderers, and soon he gathered tens of thousands of people, often invading Hedong.

Even if the Shisheng Sect could not capture the Xue Clan's Fenyin Fort, the sweep around the periphery of Fenyin day and night also made the Xue Clan miserable, especially the various productions outside the dock wall were completely stagnant, and tens of thousands of people were about to run out of rations. Therefore, Xue Tao had to compromise a little and promised Shi Sheng to raise a batch of tea for him to ask him to withdraw from the army.

Hearing Xue Tao's story, Fang Wang couldn't help frowning, how could he not want to save the rural crisis, but with his mere officials, how could he raise a large number of controlled goods between Heluo and Luo in a short period of time.

He remembered that tea had also appeared in the commercial goods with the quota earlier, and even some storage at home, but these were just a drop in the bucket, how could they meet Xue Tao's huge needs.

"Brother, if you come to visit next year, I may still have a plan or two to help you. The children's officials are in Taicang Cao, and the officials of Lianyue have done well in the exam, and they are expected to turn into a regular subordinate next year, which can be introduced to the world brother, but at the moment it is still light. However, in the near future, it will be a Chinese banquet, and there may be a batch of prohibited items for sale at the meeting. ”

After pondering for a long time, Fang Wang spoke: "If there is nothing in the city, I think you still have to go straight to the general's mansion and make a detailed statement about the difficulties of this township." ”(https:)
