"Got it?" Dong Ce asked-

These family members have been with Dong Ce for a long time, and they not only dance with guns and sticks, boil martial arts, and train combat skills, but also have gained a lot of knowledge, so it is easy to understand his words and nod their heads. They are all small villages in northern Jin that have really fought and seen blood, and have seen blood.

The village is located between two small hills, one south and one north, and the village is built on the north side and south side, and outside the village, a small river flows slowly, drawing a semicircle, enveloping the village, and then bypassing the south knoll. On the small mound to the north, an ancestral hall was built, which is not large, but it is all made of stone, which is quite exquisite.

This ancestral hall was not built by the villagers - they did not have the financial ability - but left over from an unknown number of years ago, with mottled walls and old colors, which seemed to tell the vicissitudes of time.

This is the origin of the ancestral village.

The potholed dirt road in the village is like a big face covered with pockmarked seeds, and the cracks on the ground due to dry cracks fully show the barrenness and poverty here.

If those villages in the southern part of the Yangtze River rely on planting mulberry and raising silkworms, basically every household can live in spacious and bright brick houses, and the mountains, water, and environment are exactly the favorite tunes of readers.

What if you put him in such an environment? Being able to plough and read heirlooms is. If you are born in a poor village like northern Shanxi, you will die of sorrow if you work hard for life every day, where will you still be in the mood to study?

Generally speaking, in a small village like the Ming Dynasty, there are always one or two families who can afford to live in a small but at least a courtyard house built of bricks and tiles, and the life is quite generous, and it is impossible to say that there is no landlord who can still raise a little maid, but obviously, there is no one in this village.

This phenomenon is actually quite common in the northern part of Shanxi.

The people are so poor, most of the land is encroached upon, and each family only has a small amount of one-third of an acre of land, and the land is shaved and fed, and even that little harvest cannot guarantee food and clothing. What's more, there is also a yellow grain national tax that is like a day in a day, and the officials are like wolves and tigers, and it is already very good to be able to maintain the escape of the entire village.

They were exploited by both the government and the gentry, and their lives could be described as extremely difficult.

In the rich land south of the Yangtze River, land annexation is of course extremely powerful, but that beautiful place is also an economic prosperity, the commodity economy is especially developed, and the germ of capitalism has appeared. Even if the people have no land at home, they can go to the city to work to support their families, and with a little bit of real estate, they can grow mulberry and silkworms, or other cash crops to subsidize their families. Moreover, in the southern part of the Yangtze River, because there are many scholars and literati and many officials and gentry, the power of discourse between the government and the opposition is quite strong, and once the people can no longer live, there will always be some talented scholars who stand up to uphold justice -- although they have selfish intentions, they are nothing more than shouting for the class they represent, but objectively, they are also as powerful as ensuring that the people are not exploited.

In fact, since the Wanli year, the Xiaoice River era has not had much impact on Jiangnan, and until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, it was still a scene of singing and dancing, flowers and brocade, and prosperity like cooking oil.

It's just these benefits, but the people of northern Shanxi can't even dream of it.

Compared with other villages, the ancestral village is poorer. Because most of the land in Zhuangzi belonged to a great gentry - the Su family.

The Su family is rich and unkind, fierce and vicious is well-known for the surrounding boundaries, their family is one of the few big landlords in Hebei Province, one of the big squires, but these gentry families in the Ming Dynasty, the landlord family pays attention to the benefit of the township, treats the neighbors well, etc., but they can't see it at all.

More than ninety percent of the people in the village are tenants of the Su family, and almost every household can evenly distribute about 20 acres of land.

That's why they didn't become homeless. Because they rented the land of the Su family, they did not have to pay the imperial grain, and although the Su family was mean and greedy, to be honest, it was still better than the imperial court. After all, the Su family still has to care about not starving them to death, and the court doesn't care about their lives or deaths. The Su family took most of their output, and only a little of it was left, but it was more or less able to keep them alive.
