Chapter 126 The Mind of the Oppressed
Chapter 126 The Thoughts of the Oppressed
Zhang Jiacheng dragged the plow and walked step by step on the field, gasping for breath, and the green blood vessels wrapped around his neck like the twisted roots of an old tree, and sweat rolled down his dark skin.
Behind him, a young woman, who was only about ten years old, was trying hard to hold the plow. It could be seen that she was already working very hard to press the plow down.
Even if people are used as animals, the furrows plowed by Zhang Jiacheng are still very shallow.
Zhang Jiacheng was not dissatisfied with this. The court distributed twelve acres of land to their father and daughter, of which three acres were irrigated land, six acres of dry land and three acres of hillside land.
He used a shovel to turn the paddy fields bit by bit, and is now breathable. In two days, after the grass roots that were turned out to be burned by the sun, they can be smoothed with bamboo grinding and then started sowing.
There are too many dry fields and there is no way to turn over the ground with a shovel, so I have to borrow a plowshare and pull it over the ground with someone.
A person farms nine acres of land, which is clearly a life-threatening business.
However, Zhang Jiacheng didn't feel tired. He felt that if he didn't plant all these lands with food, it would be meaningless for him to live.
Many, many years have passed, the Zhang family has no land. As long as he can remember, their family has planted land from other people's homes. He is a person who likes to farm. His father and grandfather are all good ways to grow crops...but their family has no land.
Now suddenly there is a land, and the Zhang family is not tired.
From sunrise to the scorching sun, Zhang Jiacheng dragged his plowshare to plow half an acre of land. Looking back at the sweat that made his daughter's hair stick tied to his forehead, Zhang Jiacheng couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Daughter, take a break."
"Dad, I'm not tired."
"How can you not be tired when you do hard work?"
Zhang Jiacheng tried hard to pull the plowshare to the ground, then put down the rope and sat under the tree with his daughter to rest.
Vegetable dumplings are not a good thing, but they are the only food for both father and daughter, and they are very sweet.
"This piece of land is full of corn. When it's autumn, my dad will cook corn for you."
But my daughter didn't listen to her father's words, but just looked at the big farm animals that were farming in the field next to her enviously.
It would be great to have large animals to cultivate the land. The furrows were deep and neat, unlike her home, where there were only some messy and shallow furrows.
This scene fell into Liang Ying's eyes, and she just sighed and left.
The government office stipulates that only three people are a family, and Zhang Jiacheng's family has only two. The government office also stipulates that only a family of three can withdraw a livestock from the court, and Zhang Jiacheng's family has only two.
In fact, as long as Zhang Jiacheng gets married during this period, everything will be solved, and Zhang Jiacheng refuses!
There are many lonely and helpless women in the capital, and Zhang Jiacheng doesn't want any of them, because these women have been ruined by Li Hongji's troops... They are obviously victims, but no one is willing to accept them... none of them is.
Because they were both women, Xu Wu naturally threw the matter of how to place these women to Liang Ying.
She originally thought it was an easy task. After all, after experiencing such a disaster, countless families were destroyed and dead.
It is a wonderful thing for everyone to comfort each other, to join in, and then continue to support them to live. Unfortunately, people in the capital do not think so.
Just like Zhang Jiacheng, he would rather drag his plow and cultivate the land than find a suitable woman from the orphanage chaired by Liang Ying to start a family again.
They refused very firmly, with little room for negotiation.
Liang Ying walked over from the other end of Zhang Jiacheng's field.
This honest farmer knew Liang Ying's identity and bent down to say hello with a smile.
Liang Ying leaned over and pinched a handful of soil from the ground, rubbed it in his hand, looked at the soil, and then threw it away to Zhang Jiacheng: "Good land, although it is dry land, it is still feasible to grow corn. If you plant some peanuts in the corn field, the output of these acres of dry land may not be worse than that of the three acres of irrigated land."
Zhang Jiacheng laughed and said, "There is not enough labor and I can't do such meticulous work."
Liang Ying smiled and said, "You and the girl are the only ones in the family, so you never thought of marrying one back? There are many good daughters in the orphanage. It would be great to marry a family of three, let alone, your family will have enough people to get a big animal from the government.
I will raise it for two years, and when the big beast has a baby, I will give it back to the government. Wouldn't it be good to leave a big beast in vain?"
Zhang Jiacheng's originally smiling black face turned completely dark, and looked at Liang Ying and said, "When those beasts were about to harm her, my wife used a pair of scissors to her chest and left us father and daughter.
Why can't the women in the orphanage do what my wife can do?
Even if my Zhang family is living with my daughter for the rest of my life, I will not want those women who insult their ancestors."
It's hard to say that to this level.
Liang Ying sighed and said, "They are pitiful too..."
Zhang Jiacheng roared wide and said, "Why don't they die?"
Liang Ying said angrily: "Shut up, why didn't your wife come up and fight against the thieves when she was in trouble?"
Zhang Jiacheng pulled his clothes open, pointed to a terrifying scar on his thin chest and said, "I've tried my best, and my mother has tried my best. It's God who pity my baby and my parents can't survive without him, so I crawled back from the pile of dead people.
Officials, although the Zhang family is not a wealthy family, they are a shameful family. After marrying a bad woman, can my child still be a good family in the future?
Without big animals, life is just a harder time. As long as I am willing to put in the field, life will get better. In the future, I will make money to buy big animals, which will make it even more exciting."
Liang Ying sighed, the Mansion Master was right, the capital city is now a place with anger.
Everyone's heart was filled with anger, and there was nowhere to vent these anger, which led to the current scene where everyone was mean.
In fact, there is only one leader in this matter. As long as one person takes the lead, someone else will follow up immediately, and things will be easier.
In fact, there are still many people who want to marry women in orphanages, but after Liang Ying sent someone to investigate their background, he was furious.
Most of these people are thugs in the capital. These bastards actually wanted to get out the poor women, take away the benefits given by the court, and then let these women be prostitutes who are half-closed in the door to support them.
These bastards not only wanted to get those women from the orphanage, but they also collected a lot of such poor women to make profits before the imperial army entered the city.
When Liang Ying first entered the city, she entered Beijing as a kind female official. She believed that with her special identity as a female official, she could do her work better.
When she and the yamen runners found the women controlled by the thugs, she witnessed a hellish tragedy with her own eyes.
Those ruffians even joined forces to threaten Liang Ying. If they did not give them the women in the orphanage, even Liang Ying would not be able to protect them.
Then, the female official, who seemed harmless, drew her sword in anger.
In the horrified eyes of the people in the capital, Liang Ying, alone, killed from the front end of the dirty and dirty street to the back end.
She killed sixteen rogues in one go under the name of quelling the chaos.
When she walked out of the Luoluo Street with blood on her face, all the people in the capital who were watching this matter were worried. The rascals who had no time to escape were all knelt down and begged for mercy.
Even so, Liang Ying, a veteran secret spy who was born in the Secret Spy Department, knew deeply that if these rascals could not be killed at once, they would be scared of fear and terror, such evil things would happen in the future.
Therefore, Liang Ying was beheaded in the street and established her reputation as "living Yama". At this point, Liang Ying made the most of her own jurisdiction in the capital. The rogues who survived by chance also fled from her jurisdiction.
However, in this way, the number of women temporarily placed in orphanage homes has doubled...
“There is almost no possibility of resettling these women in their hometown.”
When she saw Xu Wu wanting to go with Zuo Maodi again, Liang Ying was a little discouraged. She did a lot of work and even set a threshold for receiving benefits for those incomplete families, but she still failed to achieve her goal.
Zuo Maodi laughed silently and said, "Beijing, the people here live a face. They think they have seen the world and think they are examples of the people in the world.
Although they performed poorly when the bandits came, this still did not allow them to give up their superiority.
If the Grand Minister uses your power as a "living Yama", this matter can still be carried out. However, in this way, when these people in the capital suffer a lot of grievances from you, they will be found back from those poor women.
So, this is the worst.”
Xu Wu wanted to frown and said, "Liang Ying, this is your business. If you can't do it well, I'll ask you. Think more about it, and there will always be a solution. Don't always push your work to your Shangguan.
Looking at you, you seem to have an idea, just want to pull me and Lao Zuo as your back. This won’t work, you will be responsible for your thoughts.
Lao Zuo, don’t look at Liang Ying as pitiful. You are her Shangguan. You should have read her resume. Humph, as a person from the Secret Spies Department, if she has not thought of a countermeasure before killing people and storming violence, she will not be a qualified Lantian official.”
Zuo Maodi looked at Liang Ying suspiciously, and he also felt strange that the officials under Lantian did not have the habit of handing over their official duties to Shangguan casually. These people are both independent and ruthless as officials. If they really want to hand over official duties, there is only one reason, that is, her method may involve violations, and they need to find someone who is too big to take the blame.
"Tell me, what exactly are you going to do?"
"The women around the capital are officially assigned to the capital, and the officials around the capital are official to the capital."
Xu Wu was shocked after hearing this and pointed at Liang Ying and said, "The official mate in another place can only be maintained for a while, but cannot be kept secret for a lifetime. Doing so will cause endless troubles."
Liang Ying sneered: "The people here can do things like buying and walking weddings, so I don't believe that they are really innocent families who want shame.
The reason why I refuse to accept them now is simply bullying people. Since the two Shangguans do not agree with my method of marriage in another place, I will give me some support. I want to transform these women so that those bastards who look down on them today will not be able to get up to the next day!"
