Second Brother Su explained the reason to him in detail: when he fought against the army of Fucheng, Xia Nan set a rule, anyone who had someone in the family who joined the army would be exempted from 30% of the rent that year, and the land would be redistributed in the next year to give priority to the selection of land, and no one in the family could only cultivate five acres of land regardless of how many people were in the army. Because of the fear that the "thieves" would be liquidated by the government, many villagers were reluctant to let their families join the army. Unexpectedly, the development of things was beyond their expectations, the government was simply defeated, and the county government became the ears of the deaf - ornaments, after the rules of the summer south were fulfilled, there was no shortage of strong laborers in these people's families, and some had several, how could they support a family with just five acres of land? However, those tenants who have joined the army in their families have cultivated more than ten or twenty acres of land, but lack sufficient labor, and the two sides complement each other, so there is a phenomenon of substitution farming, with people on this side and fields on that side, and after paying the rent, the two sides will negotiate and divide it.

Su Laoqi replied distressedly: "The harvest in the field has to be shared with others, how can it be cost-effective to grow it yourself?" ”

Su Thick Leg felt that this was a good way, and persuaded: "Abba, we are not at home, how can you plant fifteen acres by yourself?" Let's find someone to farm on our behalf, the silver that my second brother and I earn is not faster than farming? ”

Su Lao was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence. Fifteen acres of land are deducted from the rent, and when the harvest is good, it is about thirty stones a year, although there is a surplus after the rations are removed, but it is only a dozen taels of silver when sold to the rice store, and this is only two months' salary for Su's thick legs.

Su Xiaomei was not willing to be lonely, and suddenly said: "Big brother, I want to go to the county to work." ”

Su Laoqi jumped three feet high: "It's all reversed, right?" The second child is going to study, and I have turned a blind eye, what are you doing to make a fuss? For girls, it's serious to marry early! ”

Su Xiaomei retorted: "The second brother studies well and has a subsidy, and I have a salary to work." I heard that a new quilt factory in the county town is going to recruit people, and the salary is very good. ”

Su Bushy knew about the quilt factory that the military uniform on his body was made by the quilt factory. He said hesitantly: "Abba, why don't you let my little sister try?" ”

His words, Su Laoqi did not directly refute, in his opinion, the boss is also an official, and he can't be scolded like before: "It's good to work to earn money, but girls show up like this, they will attract gossip, and they always have to get married." Seeing that she is sixteen, she will be an old girl if she doesn't marry again. ”

Su Xiaomei argued unconvinced: "When I couldn't fill my stomach at the beginning, as long as I could support myself, go to the field to farm, go up the mountain to chop firewood, when did I ever think about showing up, and now that my life is a little better, I will pay attention to this?" ”

Su Lao was speechless for a while.

Su Bush came back from seeing the world, and he didn't want his younger siblings to stay in the village for the rest of his life, so he persuaded: "Abba, it's not bad for my little sister to go and see for a long time, maybe I can find a good family in the county." ”

Su Liu was very interested in this and asked, "Really, boss?" Can someone in the county take a fancy to the girl in our hometown? ”

Su thick legs puffed up his chest: "Grandma, our family is not as good as before." Not to mention anything else, if you want your son to be a soldier, you will be more beautiful than others: not only can the food tax at home be reduced, but the government can't arrest me, and the officials can only take a detour when they see me. ”

Su Laoqi's eyes lit up: "Really? Our family is not even afraid of the yamen? Gou Dafu didn't have such a majesty at the beginning! ”

Su Bush hurriedly explained: "If you become a soldier, you won't be under the control of the yamen, even if you commit a crime, the yamen can't be arrested, but not our family can walk sideways......"

The difference between this is that Su Laoqi is too lazy to taste it, he only knows that his waist can be straightened in the future, and he is in a good mood, and he doesn't even mind the matter of taking his little sister so much.

"Since the old man wants to work, let's go!"

Second Brother Su and Little Sister Su jumped up happily when they heard this, but Old Brother Su added coldly: "I didn't say that I would go right away, wait until this season of rice is harvested and the new house is built." ”

Second Brother Su was a little disappointed: "Even if you harvest rice, when will you have to wait to build a house?" ”

Su Xiaomei also said: "I have been delayed for too long, I am afraid that the clothing factory will be full of ......."

Su made a round from it: "Why don't you do this, after harvesting the rice, negotiate the matter of farming, and then invite a good mason, let my younger brothers and sisters go when the house is built?" Anyway, when it comes to building a house, they can't help by staying at home. ”

Su Laoqi hesitated and said, "Build a house and invite a mason?" Ask the people in the village to help, two meals a day, one dry and one thin, won't it be covered? ”

Su Bushy Legs was accustomed to seeing the beautiful cement buildings in Lingao City, where could he still see the adobe houses, and shook his head again and again: "Abba, we now have surplus food and silver, can we continue to build adobe houses?" If you want me to say, just build a brick house and follow the appearance of the Gou family's house! The yard is smaller than Gou's, and the house is less than a few rooms. ”

Su Lao Qi instinctively refused, why spend that unjust money, think about it, the boss is a military attaché, in Hefeng Village, the old Su family is also a family with a head and a face, and it doesn't matter if he loses his old face, he can't lose the boss's face. He looked at the silver ingots on the table, felt confident in his heart, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”

Lingao, South Park.

Xia Nan and Lin Weiye were receiving guests, and sitting opposite them were Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng.

Xia Nan's face was full of anticipation: "Mr. Wang, what do you think of this?" The school lacks a great Confucian like you, especially those who are proficient in Western studies. ”

Wang Zheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's rare that Xia Shen will look up to the old man, and Chu Yang is trying to persuade him, what reason do I have to refuse?" ”

Xia Nan and Lin Weiye were overjoyed: "So Mr. Wang agreed?" ”

Wang Zheng said: "I read the books of sages and sages, but astronomy, arithmetic, objects, instruments, etc. are all abandoned, and I have studied eight stocks all my life, but I regard the essence of Western learning as a strange skill. Nowadays, whether it is firearms, ships, or equipment, they are far inferior to Tessie, and in the long run, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. Westerners have been chasing profit and peeping at our dynasty for a long time, and one day, the Taixi Princes will replace Jiannu as the confidant of the Ming Dynasty. It is rare that Xia Shen will have such a vision, open a school, teach Western learning, and the old man should teach him. ”

Xia Nan was embarrassed when he heard this, although there was a slight error in time, but Wang Zheng's prediction of the trend in a few hundred years was very accurate. After the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, the suppression of science and technology became more stringent, and the Baguwen developed to its peak, but the scientific and technological culture of Europe advanced by leaps and bounds, and finally the Opium War opened the prelude to the invasion of China by Western powers, and China fell into the abyss of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. As an ancient, it is not easy to have such insight, and he admires Wang Zheng. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
