At noon the next day, the sailor entered the cabin and reported: The big ship is close to Zhoushan,

Xiao Bobai took the chart to show everyone, said Zhoushan, continue to the northwest is Hangzhou Bay, if the wind is smooth, you can go ashore tomorrow morning, Chang Sihao looked at the mark on the chart, Hangzhou Bay is a bit like a horizontal triangle, the tip of the left points to Hangzhou, the lower right corner is where Zhoushan is now, and the sharp corner of the upper part points to three words: Songjiang Mansion,

He asked, "Under the administration of Songjiang Prefecture, is there a name called 'Huating'?"

Xiao Bobai nodded: "Yes." He pointed to a small dot at the junction of sea and land below Songjiang Mansion: "This is Huating, the place is not big, but it is very rich." ”

Chang Sihao pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Xiao, old housekeeper, I don't know if I can ask you for a favor." ”

Xiao Bobai glanced at the young master, turned his head and said, "Chang Shaojian has something to say, please say." Chang Sihao said: "I have some things to do, I want you to send me to Huating to get off the boat, in addition, Neiko Yin'er, I also hope that the two of you can help take care of it for a while." Xiao Bobai looked at the young master again, and Xiao Jin tilted his head: "Wow, your wife wants me to keep it, it's not good." ”

Chang Sihao smiled: "I am you, you are me, my wife is your wife, and you are afraid of something after a few meals." ”

Xiao Jin picked up the moon and was happy: "Ha, you kid doesn't go to the Tao at all, you haven't been with me for a few days, but you have learned to take advantage, Lao Bai, you see, it's easy to ask God to send God." Chang Sihao laughed, Xiao Jin picked up the moon and said: "It's a pity that you are willing, I am willing, I am afraid that our wife [Xianmo: vomiting blood three liters...... Don't be funny] I don't want to, I make a mess of it. Chang Sihao said: "It's okay, Shuangji, after I go ashore, you go to Hangzhou with Xiao Gongzi, explain it for me, and stabilize Yin'er." Li Shuangji nodded in embarrassment, feeling that he was stupid enough, but compared with himself, these two people seemed to be even more abnormal, Xiao Jinshiyue looked up at his chin: "I used to eat my relatives for nothing, but this time it's finally my relatives' turn to eat me for nothing, welcome......" Li Shuangji was confused again, and said: "Are you willing or unwilling in the end, at this time you should say retribution." Xiao and Chang laughed, [Xian Mo: The author writes Cheng Yunfeng and Cheng Lian'an, is to write father and son not father and son, Ying Hongying and Guan Yiyan are mother and son not mother and son, here Xiao Changqin is written and the three are husband and wife not husband and wife, and then think about it, then the sword is not a sword, a chivalrous non-chivalrous, right and wrong, non-non-non, everywhere with this as the keynote, why, people have troubles, all because they can't think about it, the heart is open, everything in the ears is a natural sound, and everything they see is a beautiful scenery, then the husband can be a wife, a wife can be a son, a son can be a father, a father can be a mother, a mother can be a sword, Sword Kexia, there is no difference in the world, there is no difference in the world, there is no one thing, there is no right and wrong, the author once said that the theory of all things is cultivated, it is the true jargon, the theory of all things, in short, it is almost the same theory, today's people are mostly troubled by choice, such as exams, Tsinghua University or Peking University, such as shopping, shopping malls or Taobao, the heart will be more separated from all kinds of things, troubles will be born, in fact, the choice of school is for learning, shopping is for the use of things, if you vaguely want to go, choose at will, focus on the goal, then save time and effort, improve efficiency, high efficiency is to extend life, so as the saying goes: there are no troubles in the world, all are mediocre people disturbing themselves, 】

When Chang Sihao got off the boat in Huating, the Xiao family still gave him two hundred taels of gold tickets and some scattered silver taels for him to spend, Chang Sihao told Li Shuangji to say goodbye to everyone, seeing that the big ship was far away, he moved the bag around his neck to his back, wrapped the sword with cloth and carried it on his shoulders, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, pretended to be a countryman, and went straight to Huating County, [Xianmo: You don't need to pretend, you are wearing fishermen's clothes,]

When I came to the outside of the county, the west sky was rusty, the sunset was golden, and it was already dinner time [Xianmo: West sky cloud rust, it was dinner, the sunset was golden, and it was also dinnertime, and the last sentence was dinner, it was obviously a waste sentence, and I was not afraid of writing articles and sentences, I was afraid that it would not be folded, and when it was stacked well, it could be the same as Xiao Guo's barbecue platter], the dirt road leading to the city gate in front of me was full of mud from the rain, a beach on the left, a beach on the right, like a hundred and ten cattle just scurrying through the thin, on both sides of the road are low stalls, and the shed is covered with sticks, There is a rope, and the shape is square and round, like an umbrella cemetery, and the voice of the voice below is also dull and dark.

The people who come and go on the street are mostly gray or blue clothes, most of the styles are similar, it seems very monotonous, Chang Sihao avoids the muddy, jumping and jumping between the rooms, suddenly hearing the sizzling squeak, the front is chaotic, the pedestrians have flashed, let it become an alley, the middle is crazy and seems to be a black dog, showing his eyes to the front, Chang Sihao is afraid of splashing muddy water, sideways to the side, the butt feels like leaning on something, a bowl porcelain sound, the dog in front of him is slipping in the mud, rolling in the shoulder, following the people in the alley chasing up a half-grown child, the body is one, like a monkey in the stream, pounced on the dog, grabbed two of the three, and put it over, The people around him came back to the taste, and saw that the child hooked his neck and strangled the dog, and rolled himself into a mud child, and everyone laughed, Chang Sihao was worried about him at the beginning, afraid that he would be bitten by a dog, and when he looked carefully, he found that he was holding a pig, but the pig was so thin that he was angular, and after rolling the mud, he was like a dog, so he also laughed,

"Welcome, welcome, guest officer, your noodle tea is here, what else do you want Although you command, the characteristics of our steamed bun oil cake are famous far and wide. ”

Chang Sihao heard this as if he said to himself, when he looked back, a man wrapped in homespun cloth, holding a bowl of steaming noodle tea was happy with himself, wearing an apron, it turned out that he had just avoided it, let him enter this small tea stall, and the butt was on the guest table, the stall owner would be wrong, and he would treat himself as a guest to entertain him, and he couldn't help laughing at him when he saw the stitches, but he would do business, and his stomach was empty, so he sat down, the mud boy caught the pig, and happily, he held the pig vertically in front of him, tiptoed, and put a small braid on the mud behind his head, as if he had just pinched the handle of the mud pot that had not been cooked, and it turned out to be a girl. [Xianmo: It can be known that this is a pig and dog are not distinguished, men and women do not distinguish the boundary, the eyes of the text are all on a thin word, in the second part, the face of the national character of the chicken frame is thin into the word Zeng, it is already a strange talk, and here the pig is thin into a dog, and the woman is as thin as a man, and it is two worlds,]

Chang Sihao asked for a few pieces of shortbread, chewed on the tea, and after eating, the stall owner saw that he was taking out the silver, his eyes lit up, and he quickly accepted it, and said with a smile: "Brother is not a local, is this going to the city?" While pulling the cash box, he handed over a few blank notes,

Chang Sihao was shocked, and secretly thought that I didn't even speak, how do you know that I am not a local?

The stall owner smiled and said: "Most of our locals have to pay the bill with slips when they eat, but not many of them use silver. ”

"Slivers, what slivers. Chang Sihao asked at the same time, and saw that the note in his hand was handed forward again, and then he reacted: he took these notes to give himself change.

This note is two fingers wide, take it and look closely, it is written in the main body with a few numbers such as Gu Yijin, Huang Wujin, etc., and a red stamp is printed at the bottom, and the eyes are swept sideways, and the money box with half a mouth next to it is also full of such white notes, and I can't help but wonder: "This can be used as money." The stall owner closed the box and said: "Hey, what you are asking is strange, why don't you spend money, this is the Xu family's strip, you just take a look, the whole ground in Huating County, take this one, and go anywhere." Chang Sihao said: "The Xu family, which Xu family." ”

The stall owner said: "yes, you don't even know the Xu family, how to live this day, isn't that the first assistant of the dynasty, the old Xu Ge's home, not to mention that his old man is loyal to the country, and his two sons are even more kind and love the people......" and asked: "Hey, I said brother, you live far away, do you have land at home?" ”

Chang Sihao responded: "Oh, I, I live a little farther away, and I have dozens of acres of paddy fields at home." ”

The stall owner said: "Do you still grow your own land now, ouch, that's a pity, how much do you have to pay in taxes for a year?" Pursed his teeth, Chang Sihao saw that his eyes were not right, and sighed: "Alas, the tax is very heavy, but what can be done." ”

"Hi. The stall owner seemed to be in the spirit, sat down closely, and said: "You come to 'contribute', I will be the introducer for you, and I will ensure that you will not suffer a loss." ”

Chang Sihao asked: "Dedication, what is that for?" ”

The stall owner said: "Why haven't you even heard of the contribution, alas, the countryside is really closed." He rode on a stool and moved forward again: "Offering means that you take out the land and dedicate it to the Xu family, and then the land will be returned to you to plant, and the grain will be beaten, but after that, you don't have to pay taxes." ”

Chang Sihao asked: "Why don't you pay it?" The stall owner said: "Because the land belongs to the Xu family, you farm for the Xu family, of course you are exempt from taxes." Chang Sihao said: "Then my land is gone, what good do I have." The stall owner smiled: "Even if you don't open the account, why are you farming, aren't you still collecting grain, you have land, farming, and most of the grain you have paid taxes, but after you don't have the land, you still plant the original land, and you don't have to pay taxes when you beat the grain, isn't this much better than before." ”

Chang Sihao said: "But the land has become the Xu family, and they still have to pay taxes, and they can't rush me to ask for food." ”

The stall owner said: "Alas, you are really, the land of the court officials and the nobles of Wang Zong is entered into the gold register, and if you do not report to the official naturalization, you will be tax-exempt [Xianmo: Not only tax-free, at that time, the state also had to allocate a large number of Zonglu to the clansmen's mansions, these people are in the middle, they eat the country and the people, but "no matter how bitter you are, you can't bitter the emperor", so only the people are the most unlucky], you have paid grain, as long as you hand over a part of the Xu family, the rest is your own, it is more appropriate than paying taxes, understand. ”

Chang Sihao suddenly realized, and thought: "It turns out that this is the case, the Xu family not only occupied the land of the peasants through the method of 'dedication', but also got all the country's taxes into their own pockets. [Xianmo: Donation is to make farmers lose ownership, but there is still land to plant, there is food to eat, now there are rich and powerful, give a little money to drive away the peasants, encircle the land for development, or even only enclose the land without development, just put it aside for two years and then sell the land, you can increase the profit hundreds of times, even let the peasants be tenants The opportunity is not given, the peasants have all the money in their hands, no technology and no work, how to survive, it can be seen that today, cruelty is far more prosperous than Ming,]

The stall owner looked at his stunned appearance and said with a smile: "I think about it this time, let me tell you, after the contribution, you don't have to worry about anything, you see the clothes worn by the people who come and go, they are all from the Xu family, the gray clothes are tenants, and the blue clothes are Zhuang Ding [Xianmo: Dark Shot], if you are willing, simply surrender yourself, and follow the Xu family in the future, maybe you can mix up an official and a half-job. Xianmo: This is to point out the way to the peasants: if you can't fight the hooligans, you can only follow the hooligans, but this is the way out for the small people to survive when they have no choice but to do it, how can it be the way out of the big country,] followed and babbled and said that if he came to contribute, he would help to be a recommender and so on [Xianmo: It can be seen that this person is already a lackey of the hooligans,] , Chang Sihao knew that he was so enthusiastic, he must be able to get oil and water in the middle, and immediately received a note for change, pretending to think about it, got up and said goodbye, walked under his feet, and pondered in his heart: Look at the fact that there are so many people wearing gray and blue clothes on this road [Xian Mo: gray collar people, speaking out of the United States, referring to workers who repair electrical appliances and get into the water, blue is blue collar, referring to manual laborers, the author uses these two colors, what does it mean is self-explanatory, poor ancient farmers still have these two roads to go, and people today can't even walk these two roads,] , It turned out to be affiliated with the Xu family, so how much land did they have to give, and when they came out, they saw that they were close to the city gate, and someone next to them stopped with a smile: "Little brother, it's hot, do you want to go to the fire." ”

There is a small table next to him, there is a teapot and a bowl on it, Chang Sihao thought it was a tea stall, waved his hand and continued to walk forward, there was a tea stall in a few steps, it was also a general decoration, and someone stopped and asked: "Little brother, do you want to go to the fire." Chang Sihao walked out more than a dozen steps, was stopped four or five times, and was angry for a while, and rushed to the last person who stopped him: "Do you look like I have a fire?" ”

The man's two cheekbones were convex, his skin was pitted and scarred, and when he smiled, the hills suddenly rose and the ravines were crowded, as if the whole face was opening up the world. Xian Mo: Write to the dedication, the focus is on the land, so the author writes about the land everywhere, try to think about the mud just written all over the ground like a cow sparse, write the mud before writing is dinnertime, the clouds are like rust, what is it, the sun can shine on the clouds, of course, it can also shine on the thin mud ground, then the color of the thin mud ground will also be like gold, what is the relationship with the loss of land by farmers, it is said that it is related, the deformation of the story of Qin Huiwang Shi cow dung gold, the Marquis of Shu lost the country because of small profits, just now people are growing GDP and let the power of the tyrant enclosure, Local ZF for the political achievements of laissez-faire shelter developer affairs, China such as Shu, the developer is just like King Hui, the author so set up a metaphor, just to speak out, the writer is detoured, only children catch pigs to pounce into the thin mud like dung, what also, is the adult is sensible, all know that the color of the dung sludge is not real gold, and the child is at a loss, who is the child, the emperor of the Ming, the person in power today, in 2000 Jianli County, Hubei Province, Qipan Township Party Secretary Li Changping wrote to the premier, saying: "The peasants are really bitter, the countryside is really poor, and agriculture is really dangerous. "Look at the present and think of the past, it is really eternal, a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, written in the case of children catching pigs and fighting mud, it is a laughing pen, an angry pen, and a tearful pen, here is written pimple face dynamics, its intention is very simple, just need to see what this person is from, will inevitably be satisfied,]: "You see, this fire is not coming up, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, you take a look first, and then go home if you are not satisfied." "As he spoke, he drew his hand behind him,

Chang Sihao looked in that direction, and saw a small squatter hut made of firewood and thatch not far away, with a small door on the side, and three small round holes the size of a fist in the front. Chang Sihao was very curious, and looked inside with a round hole in his hand, only to see that in the dim light, there were seven or eight women in this small shed, sitting or standing, thin and thin, with dirty hair, as if they had not been washed for a long time, some of them still had straw sticks on their faces, some of their eyes were blue, with bruises, and the black and wet pills on the ground were also like mud, exuding an unpleasant smell.

The pimple smiled at him: "What, do you have a favorite, seven old money at a time, to ensure that you go to the fire." ”

Chang Sihao frowned and said, "Seven old money." ”

The pimple pursed his lips in embarrassment, and his whole face pulled out a miserable expression, as if the mudslide had just passed by the landform: "Hey, this is too expensive, let's this is the average price, you have walked around here, how dare I ask you to lie, seven money, no less, [ Xianmo: Qiwen money can be prostituted once, it is a historical record, it is indeed not an exaggeration of the author, what is the concept of Qiwen money at that time, it is equivalent to two yuan today, in small and medium-sized cities, you can buy about five steamed buns, women eat small, five steamed buns a day can also be full, but this pimple face is pimped, it is bound to be tapped,]"

The smell of this shed makes people want to vomit, Chang Sihao moved his head away, looking back at the place he had just walked through, there was such a small squatter shed behind those small tea stalls, it seemed that it should be the same business, and thought: "There are still such brothels in the world, [Xianmo: Zheng Mengzhu said when he made the proposal that the prostitute is five products: the hall and the courtyard of the house, now out of the end, in the eyes of Jue Xiang and Jinwu, Simeitang is already a small liao, in fact, Simeitang still has a house to live in, and the word squatter here is really miserable,] It's just a joke. Shaking his head, he turned around to leave, but was pulled by the pimple face, and said with a smile: "You wait, you wait." Then he greeted the shed: "Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, Xiao Tingting." A woman responded, "Wash the pigs." The pimple face said: "What kind of pig to wash, hurry up, there is a visitor." The woman agreed, and pulled out a girl from behind the squatter, this girl was eight or nine years old, with thin arms and belly, two red dots on her wet chest, and a small yellow ripped cloth on her lower body, with bare feet underneath, little dirty hands in her mouth, gnawing on her mud nails, raising a pair of big eyes, and looking at Chang Sihao timidly. Xian Mo: The benefactor is so dark, thick and strong, seeing that there is not going to be a storm, he has not suffered so much in the past, and he will not know cowardice and sadness at this moment,]

The pimple face looked left and right, as if he was afraid that the "peers" next to him would see it, covered his mouth with his hand and half-bowed his back, and discussed with him in a low voice: "This guest master, this price is really indispensable, in this way, you can pick one at will in the shed, and then take my nephew's daughter, the child is small, when the new bud rice is not carried, after all, there is still a tender strength." ”

Chang Sihao looked at the woman who looked like a peasant aunt: "This is your fourth uncle." [Xianmo: Sijiu mother, **baby, what is Tingting Yuli,] [Xianmo Second Comment: Mom is not a good mother, the baby must be a bitter baby,]

"Fourth Uncle" at this time the top of the head is itchy, five black fingers are scratching and crawling in the hair, it looks like a soaked earthworm loosening the soil [Xian Mo: mud nails, black fingers, everywhere does not leave the land, is Zhiyuan is digging people in the soil, scratching the head is loose soil, then what soil is the soil, is the people who know the land as the soil, treat the soil as their relatives, and put it on the head, and the upper-class ruler takes the small people as the soil, layer by layer of food, layer by layer pressing, pimple face and noodle tea shop owner is a category, "Fourth Uncle" and pimple face are also a category, but it is the next family in the next family,] , As soon as he heard this, he thought he had the heart to pick himself, so he hurriedly wiped his hair, and wanted to make up an expression of "Panjun pity the slave" [Xianmo: Follow the hooligan to sell sisters, when there are guests, even he has to sell, and the children have to sell, it is pitiful and not pitiful, it is sad and not sad, hate its misfortune, anger is indisputable, it really makes people speechless, so Yuan Lao and Liucheng said that opening the wisdom of the people is a big deal, and today's people are fart people, ** Silk self-deprecation, if you only know self-deprecation, do not work hard to change the world, then even these four uncles are not as good, can only die alive in this society, let the rich and powerful see the jokes, the ancients said shame and then brave, where is the shame of today, who is willing to stand up, face up to the blood dripping on our bodies, pimple face knows that there are similar guests who like the taste of "good family", thinking that there is a play, busy nodding: "Ming media is marrying, kiss the fourth uncle." Chang Sihao pointed to the girl named "Xiao Tingting": "She is your niece's daughter." The pimple face and the thumb brother picked: "If it's fake, it's my niece's daughter." ”

Chang Sihao said: "You let them pick me up together." ”

Hearing this, the pimple face tasted a little wrong, and suddenly became extremely serious: "Big brother, believe me, can you still talk nonsense, really relatives are different, I guarantee to feel at home." ”

Chang Sihao's fist clenched a few times underneath, and he really wanted to beat him, but he knew that he couldn't, and suddenly a thought came to his heart: "Miss Cheng doesn't know where she was sold now, is she also doing such a thing, [Xianmo: The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken]" This thought moved, and the pimple in his heart became even bigger, and he had the heart to give this child some money, knowing that it was not in her hands, even if he had good intentions, he couldn't control the world, just that, just gritted his teeth, turned around and left. Xianmo: I can't read the author's above meaning, it must be said that Xiao Chang is ruthless here, in fact, this has nothing to do with Xiaoyu's words that the sword family "does not send small favors to several people", and the people on several other tea stalls listened from afar, seeing that he didn't even want to play with such a discount, and he didn't come to provoke him, he looked at his back inexplicably for a moment, but he was not discouraged, and shouted: "Come on, it's hot, go to the fire." "I was busy soliciting others on the side of the road,

The Xu family's mansion is located in the northeast of the county, Chang Sihao inquired about the direction all the way, and thought as he walked: "Those women see that they are all peasant women, but if they can live, they will never do this for a living, the land of the family is dedicated, there is no way to make a living, the man is naturally a slave, and the woman has to sell herself, all of this is not forced by the Xu family, [Xianmo: Pointing the finger back to the court, only falling on the Xu family, it is Xiao Chang's lack of eyesight, not like Zheng Mengzhu and others can see the root of social problems, and Xiao Chang is focused on the Xu family, and he is not far away from thinking about the past,]" The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I pondered: "The Xu family must have signed a lot of contracts to engage in this set of contributions, and if I get this thing in my hands and sue him in the future, it will be the best evidence." I made up my mind, came to take a few turns outside the Xu Mansion, and settled in my heart, so I settled in a small shop nearby, slept for three hours to nourish my spirits, opened my eyes and saw that the moon was in the middle of the sky, in the dead of night, I got up and packed up my clothes tightly, stabilized my waist and flanks, and quietly touched the door behind the "ten miles of time".
