Zhang Yiwan is an ordinary citizen of Nanyang Prefecture, Chengxuan Zhengzheng, Henan. This name does not mean that his family is rich. On the contrary, his family is very poor. When the Tianqian drought was in a drought, his parents starved to death, leaving four younger brothers and sisters who almost starved to death.

He had the opportunity to change his destiny in the vigorous peasant uprising in the first year of Chongzheng, but it was not a way to make a fortune, but a dead end. Whether it was the Chongzhen Dynasty or the Chongzheng Dynasty, their final outcome was the same, that was to be wiped out!

Many young men from my fellow villagers went to join the peasant uprising army. They did make some money at the beginning, but later the imperial army surrounded and suppressed them. Few survived, and even those who survived were arrested and served for many years before returning.

He was very glad that he did not join the peasant uprising army. Although his family had always been in a difficult situation, he still raised several younger brothers and sisters. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful and the weather is good. His family has lived a good life. Both sisters have found good families and the second brother has also started a family. However, he and his third brother have been bachelors. It’s not that they don’t want to get married, but mainly because they don’t have money.

Nowadays, you can’t have a decent house or a decent house when you get married, and then hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends from all over the countryside to have a meal. You can’t afford to fight without hundreds of taels of silver.

His second brother had spent all his family's savings in his marriage. Now his third brother is at the age of getting married, but his family can't afford much money. It would be great if farmers like them who rely on land to dig food, clothing, housing and housing in a year, which would leave more than ten taels of silver. If his third brother wants to marry a good wife, he has to wait at least ten years!

He could wait, but his third brother couldn't wait. Seeing his third brother looking at his wife's red face and jealousy, he felt so frustrated that he felt so uncomfortable. When his parents passed away, he agreed to let his younger brother and sister live a good life. Now, seeing that his third brother is unconscious all day long, how can he feel at ease?

Just when he was anxious, the scholars from the village came, and these scholars had nothing else to do. They would go to the towns to read them out when the court made major decisions, so that everyone could know that last time it seemed that the emperor was going to implement the "Ming Dynasty Conquering Law".

He respected the current emperor from the bottom of his heart, not to mention anything else. At least since the Chongzheng Dynasty, the Nanyang Prefecture has lasted for more than ten years of drought. The court has been spared no effort to provide relief, and basically no situation has ever been starved to death. It is not like the Tianqi Dynasty. It has only been a few years of severe drought. His father and mother starved to death to leave stutters for their children!

He really didn't understand the "Ming Jing Rule" read last time by the scholar. The emperor has both rights and responsibilities. All government affairs are handed over to the cabinet for handling, and civilians have their rights and responsibilities. He was confused. He only knew that the emperor was for the benefit of the people and did not know anything else.

However, this time he understood it because he was simple, that was that the Ming Dynasty occupied a new territory, and there was money everywhere. As long as he went to work, he could earn one or two taels of silver a day!

In addition, the Ministry of Revenue has also issued the "New Jiuzhou Recruitment Regulations". As long as you are willing to farm, you will plant as much as you want, and the taxes will be very low.

It was really hard to make a decision for the whole family to move over to farm, but there was no problem if he was just working alone. Anyway, he was only a bachelor, one tael of silver a day, and he could get his third brother to marry a good wife in half a year. This kind of thing was something he never dared to think about before.
