Seventy-four: Fermentation
There was still a commotion inside, and from time to time there were shouts and scoldings coming out along the wind, so Han Bo asked impatiently: "What's going on inside?" With such a big move, you still can't do business?! ”
This is already in Baoding, according to the information given by Lin Sanshao before, this tea house should be opened by a military household, seeing that there is such a stake, Han Bo always feels that there is something wrong, so he deliberately makes a tentative statement.
The fat woman had already begun to tidy up the table, and seeing that they were so generous that they didn't even have time to go in to get the rags, for fear that they would run away, she hurriedly took her sleeves and wiped them on the table, and even wiped the stools clean, and asked them to sit down with two sighs of breath on the top, so she had the time to reply to their words, and looked inside in disgust and laughed mockingly: "It's all the people who have black hearts and livers who are fighting for money, for fear that this silver can't be brought into the coffin!" ”
After she finished mocking, she diligently coaxed Han Bo and the others to sit: "You sit first, sit first!" They won't quarrel for long, and after a while it will be fine, and we have the only tea house in the vicinity, and we have to find a place to stay, except here, unless we go to the next city, it will be gone. What are you going to eat? ”
Han Bo and Cedar glanced at each other, and also made a hungry appearance, touched his stomach and asked Shen Chen what he meant: "Young master, what she said makes sense, we just came out of the city now, if we can't eat here, we will be hungry for a while, do you think it will be used here?" ”
Shen Chen nodded and frowned: "This is too noisy, the proprietress told them to be quiet." ”
The fat woman sighed and agreed, and when she saw that they took out two taels of silver as soon as they made a move, and only a few pots of tea were served, she was so surprised that even her eyes almost popped out, and she squeezed through the crowd with brisk steps, and then came out with a pot of tea and poured it for them: "You can use this hot tea first, and I still have steamed buns in it, so I will bring it to you." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud noise from inside.
A girl about ten years old hurriedly ran towards the proprietress and said to her with a crying voice: "Mother! Dad was beaten, and the third uncle beat him! The third aunt pulled his hair ......"
The fat woman gritted her teeth and scolded, wanting to rush in and taking care of the group of generous guests outside, she didn't know what to do.
The girl reached out to pull her clothes: "Mother, go in quickly, Daddy can't carry it alone!" ”
The fat woman gritted her teeth, and when she saw that Han Bo and they were all curious, she smiled dryly: "I'm sorry, this is really ......."
At this moment, there was another pig-killing cry from inside, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she grabbed a stool and rushed in.
But the little girl bit her fingers, looked at the snacks taken out by Han Bo, and her eyes were bright and refused to move.
Han Bo has always been very good at teasing children, and when he saw her like this, he shook the dim sum in front of her and asked her, "Do you want to eat it?" ”
There are people coming and going on this road, there is no so-called fine and not fine to raise children, children can eat enough is very virtuous, girls have never seen such beautiful and delicate snacks, and nodded with glowing eyes.
Guard moved the box to her, smiled and said, "Then take it." ”
Seeing that they were all mild-mannered, and did not look like teasing her, the girl hesitated for a moment before reaching out to grab it, and soon gobbled it up.
Wei An glanced at Shen Chen, poured another cup of tea in front of her, and told her to eat slowly.
When she was almost finished, Wei An casually glanced into the tea house and asked her, "By the way, what's wrong with you here?" Why did your mom and dad get into a fight? Stopped doing business? ”
The girl took a bite of the red bean cake, and some grievances appeared on her face: "Third uncle, they don't give us silver." ”
Her aggrieved eyes were red, and she couldn't swallow it for a while when she looked at the red bean cake: "My father used to be a soldier, and he had military pay and food every year, and he broke a leg..... But I don't know why it's gone, we have to farm and have to pay rent, my father can't afford it, so I don't want the land, and I open a tea house with my mother....."
Han Bo hummed and asked her, "Then why did you quarrel?" ”
"It's because I don't know why, and the military pay is going to be repaid." The little girl was happy, and looked at them with smiling eyes: "My father has twenty taels of silver!" ”
Retroactive military pay?
The Great Zhou Dynasty is a policy of letting these military households fight when they are going to fight, and letting them farm when they are not fighting.
And according to the little girl, her father also broke his leg.
If you have a broken leg, the pension given by the court will not be less, and there is also the privilege of tax exemption, why do you still say that you don't give land to plant?
Wei An thought about it, and then asked the little girl: "Since this is the case, then why did your third uncle quarrel with your father?" What does your third uncle have to do with your father? ”
The little girl scratched her head and said as if she didn't understand: "I don't know, I only know that the third uncle is not a military household like us, he is a talent." The third uncle said that if it weren't for him, my father wouldn't even be able to receive the twenty taels of silver, and asked my father to give him ten taels, but my father refused...... There was a quarrel. ”
The little girl was very aggrieved: "Third uncle, he is doing things for thousands of households, and he has silver." But my little nephews are sick, and I rely on this money to live for healing, and my mother refuses to give it, and my father refuses to give it...... The third uncle and three aunts said that they would go to the Qianhu House and tell the Qianhu adults to sue us and not give us the money. ”
What do you do?
Han Bo touched his chin and glanced at Cedar.
Cedar went to see Shen Chen first.
Shen Chen gently let the little girl take it casually in the box, and when she saw that she said that she was going to take it to her little nephew, he also smiled and nodded in agreement, and said to Xuesong: "Go and bring people out for me to see." ”
He paused and said, "I want to see that the people of the Thousand Households are so powerful that they set their own standards for issuing silver, and they can decide who to give the money to and not to whom?" ”
Because of such a bad thing, the cabinet and Emperor Longqing quickly made a decision to let the military department and the household department make up for these shortfalls and compensate these military households.
Shen Chen didn't know the specific standard of compensation, but he also knew that it could never be four years and twenty taels.
Originally, these moths had already filled their pockets, and now they even want to give them another sum of money, which is really outrageous.
And Chu Jingxing, who is in the same stream with these people and provides a hotbed for them, is even more despicable.
As long as he can be good, it doesn't matter whether others live or die, and he thinks that everyone should give way to him, who is selfish, what qualifications does he have to stand in the position of the son of the world?
