Now Zhou Yu's temperament has changed a lot, this year he has not traveled around as before, but stayed at home to study Shi Wen art, his father's words made him alarmed, if Luo Xin and Zhang Xun are both admitted in the future, and he falls off the list, there is really no place to put this face.

His foundation was originally good, and in the past year, Luo Xin has constantly communicated with him and Zhang Xun with Lu Tingfang's guidance, which has made Zhou Yu's current literature and art have a qualitative leap. The elegance on the body is stronger.

Zhang Xun is now an adult, and the word is Ziyu.

His knowledge has also made great progress, with a qualitative leap, studying hard in the county, and regularly having the guidance of the county and the experience that Luo Xin brought from Lu Tingfang, and his bookish atmosphere is very strong.

Although Luo Qing is one year younger than Zhang Xun, his height has surpassed Zhang Xun, and he is only two fingers shorter than the twenty-year-old Zhou Yu. His body is a mixture of heroism and elegance, and he has a different style. This was due to his martial arts practice and his reading of military books and battle strategies.

Luo Xin is the youngest, only eleven years old, but his figure is already close to Zhang Xun, just a finger shorter than Zhang Xun. His temperament is different. The elegant temperament reveals a kind of elegance and ease. This kind of elegance and freedom comes from his insistence on practicing Taoist Taijiquan every day, and he has already started.

It's a big year, and naturally they won't discuss the art of the current culture, that thing is too boring. The four brothers chatted widely, and now when Luo Qing sat with the other three brothers, it became very natural. He was able to fully understand what the three brothers were saying, and he was able to participate in it.

Of course, there are also times when Luo Qing can't get involved, such as composing poems.

However, now that Luo Qing encounters this situation, Luo Qing no longer feels embarrassed, Luo Xin once told him that no one is omnipotent, and it is nothing if he can't compose poetry. So. Whenever he read a poem, he sat there smiling and looked at the three brothers. Sometimes whoever does it too badly, he laughs.

The days went by day by day.

Luo Xin's homework is getting better and better, but there is no joy in his heart. The days are approaching the autumn harvest day by day. This year's situation is not very good, the crops are in better condition than last year, according to Daddy, there should be a 60% harvest.

But......

However, the imperial court reinstated tax ......

If this is not in normal times, wouldn't you have paid so much tax before?

But it just happened last year!

There is no surplus food left in the people's homes, and they have managed to survive last year. If you pay your taxes this year, you will have to go hungry. can't even get by, sell their ancestral business, and even sell themselves into slavery.

It's all about staying alive!

Even Luo Xin's family is gradually running out of surplus food, if it weren't for Luo Xinxin's confidence that he can borrow food from Zhang Shu, Lu Tingfang or Zhou Tingyu, I'm afraid his heart would have panicked at this time.

If there were no way to borrow grain, Luo Xin's family would have no choice but to sell the Zhuangzi and the fertile land they had just bought, and return to the difficult life of the past. Even if the year is good next year, Luo Xin's family will still be a poor peasant.

Luo Xin didn't want to borrow grain. He always felt that he was a traverser, and if he couldn't solve this problem with his own ability, it would be a shame for the traverser.

And he also regarded this food shortage at home as a test for himself, if even this food shortage can be solved by himself, then he is not afraid to face Yan Song and Xu Jie when he becomes an official in the future.

He has the confidence that he can solve all problems as long as he is willing to put his heart into it!

But......

If he can't come up with a solution to the food shortage in his family, he feels that he will lose his self-confidence. In the future, he will definitely encounter a more difficult predicament than this, and he can't even solve the current predicament, so how can he face the difficult predicament in the future?

this day.

Luo Xin rode his eldest brother's horse to the county seat alone, and it was time to go to Lu Tingfang's house to study. Riding on the horse, Luo Xin was a little absent-minded. I have a way to make money in my head.

I'm afraid that the surplus food at home won't be able to support me for a month with this way of eating, and I have to figure out a way to make money in this half a month. People in the village have started selling land and houses again.

The man who sold the land is fine, although there is no land, as long as you have a good hand to work with the crops. You can do long work.

In fact, in ancient times, the life of long-term workers was not as poor as later generations imagined, and they were oppressed by landlords. On the contrary, the landlord treats the long-term workers well, the long-term workers are not domestic slaves, the landlord is not good to the long-term workers this year, and the long-term workers will not farm for the landlord in the second year, but for other people's families.

If a landlord has a harsh long work. Insulting the reputation of the long-term worker will make all the long-term workers dare not give him the land, so that even if the landlord has thousands of acres of fertile land, he will live a poor life, because there is no one to plant the land for him, and he can only be wasted.

But not only the people who sell the land but also the houses are much more miserable, when they eat up the little food they get from selling the houses and land, they really have no shelter or food, and there are only two ways for them, one is to become a homeless person, and the other is to sell themselves into slavery.

Once you sign a contract and become a domestic slave of someone else's family, you lose all your freedom, and even your life does not belong to you. Even if the master's family kills the house slave, he will not be punished, at most he will be fined a few dollars.

Therefore, in order to avoid becoming domestic slaves and not want to starve to death, some people sell their sons and daughters. Of course, there are also people who want to sell themselves, but the rich don't want it, they only need the young ones.

Now people have begun to sell themselves into slavery in Shanglin Village, and there are people from other villages who have come to Shanglin Village to beg for food and sell themselves into slavery.

Nowadays, there are only three Zhuangzi in Shanglin Village, and other families say that the courtyard is larger, at most the courtyard is larger, unlike these three Zhuangzi, which occupy a wide area, as long as you look at it from the outside, you will know that it is a large family.

The first Zhuangzi is the village chief Zhang Shujia, the second Zhuangzi is the Zhuangzi that Lu Tingfang bought and prepared to give to Luo Xin, and the third is the current Luo Xin's family.

Luo Xin's family can't even live their own lives now, so naturally they won't buy slaves. And Lu Tingfang can't do it, that Zhuangzi originally wanted to give it to Luo Xin, but now Luo Xin doesn't want it, he just sent a few subordinates to manage it there, what kind of house slaves to buy?

Besides, with his current condition, keeping a low profile is the way to survive.

In this way, Uncle Zhang's family, who has the largest Zhuangzi, is left, and Zhang Shu has bought a few maids and domestic servants, anyway, it won't cost a few dollars in this year, and even without money, five catties of millet can be exchanged for a big girl to be a maid.
