Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven Home Country World
Huang Sanma ignored the noise of the people beside him, finished the noodles in a few seconds, and was about to stand up and go home, Uncle Yang grabbed him and said, "Sanma, I heard that
Did your father send your brother’s big baby to Baqing Town to learn to read?”
"Yes," mentioned his eldest nephew Huang Sanma with a proud look on his face and said with a smile: "Thuwai is smart when she is young. My father said that this kid may be a study material. A private school was opened in Baqing Town. He had a friendship with General Feng of Baqing Town. General Feng agreed to accept Huwai and eat and live at his house, and happened to be with General Feng's grandson."
Baqing Town has changed from a deserted town to the largest market town in Hecheng County. Feng Dingzhong brought his wife and children to his old age, and many garrison soldiers also brought their families. Today, Baqing Town is a large market town with more than 3,000 people. With popularity, shops naturally settled in, and many garrison soldiers have become new families. There are many people and many children. Feng Dingzhong discussed with his subordinates to let the children study, and specially hired two gentlemen in the county and started a private house.
General Feng and Feng Dingzhong have been promoted to the commander of Anxi Gate. Last year, several commanders of the military camp in the military field were interested in playing against Jiang's governor and asked for benefits. It happened that Yang Siqi, the Yuantian Sect, encouraged the military camp to cause trouble, but Jiang Anyi caught the handle. Afterwards, Jiang Anyi reported to the Ming Dynasty court, and the emperor issued an order to remove the official positions of Wu Dagang, the commander of Anxi Gate, Ji Gangbing, and the commander of Andong Gate, Zheng Wenkai. The military camp was separated from military affairs and classified as Huazhou government affairs. The military camp was appointed by the governor of Huazhou through the Sima Mansion and reported to the Ministry of War, giving Jiang Anyi great power. Of course, this is also the emperor's praise for Jiang Anyi after the great success of military farming.
Feng Dingzhong was lucky. He met Jiang Anyi the earliest. After several encounters, Jiang Anyi was satisfied. A few times ago, Feng Dingzhong took his family to Baqing Town and intended to take root in Huazhou. Among the troops, Feng Dingzhong was considered a close confidant of Jiang Anyi. He did not flow into the fields of outsiders. Feng Dingzhong was promoted to the commander of Anxi Gate. The candidate for the commander of Annan Gate was Fu Xiangyi. Seeing that he was cautious and obedient, Jiang Anyi did not respond to the trouble of the troubled army in the military field, so he became the commander of Annan Gate. As for the commander of Anbei and Andong Gate, Jiang Anyi did not forcefully appointed him and asked the former deputy commander to take over. Although the emperor classified the affairs of the military affairs as local government affairs, Shi Qingjian, Liu Yixing and others advised him to try to intervene as little as possible.
After this storm, the garrison army became much more gentle, and the life of the garrison yamen became much better. At the beginning of the year, more than 10,000 garrison soldiers came one after another, all of which were properly resettled by Ning Qingzheng. Although there were some minor frictions, four garrison commanders worked hard to help, which was roughly calm.
Uncle Yang said with a "click" and said enviously: "Your father has been honest all his life, but he didn't expect that when he was old, he met noble people, made friends with General Feng, and found a good way for his children and grandchildren."
Huang Sanma smiled "hehe" and scratched the back of his head and didn't know how to respond. He said for a long time: "Uncle Yang, just say whatever you have, do you want wages? Can you wait for two days and give it to you when my father comes back?"
Uncle Yang is a bricklayer, and Huang Sanma’s new house was built by him with his three sons. Hecheng County has developed rapidly in the past two years, and he was too busy to build a house. Uncle Yang’s 60 acres of land were rented to others for farming. He took his three sons to build houses all day long. The father and son could earn at least a hundred taels of silver a year. He was a wealthy family that Honghebao could be considered a wealthy family.
The new house has four rooms, and the wages are paid 4 taels. Huang Sanma married and separated. Huang's father promised to pay 3 taels for him, and he had to find a way for the remaining one tael. Huang Sanma married his wife and had to be generous when she returned to her parents' home. She spent all the more than four taels of silver in her hand, but he was not panicked at all. He had two in his family.
Ten acres of land can be exchanged for four or five taels of silver when harvesting wheat in June. The newly reclaimed melon field is growing well and can also be sold for four or five taels of silver. My wife, mother and sister-in-law have raised more than 20 sheep together. When they are taken to the county town at the end of the year, they can be exchanged for a few taels of silver. The debt of one or two taels of silver is nothing. Uncle Yang really urged him to ask for it, so he went to borrow some emergency first to ask his mother for it.
"Aren't you asking for money? Isn't you the kind of person who can't stand it?" Old Man Yang was a little angry, and raised his finger and knocked Huang Sanma's head.
"What's that?" Huang Sanhan touched his head. Uncle Yang was very strong, and he knocked it hard now.
Old Man Yang said in a muffled voice: "Sanma, when your father comes back, you ask me if you can send my fifth brother to the town to read, and just be a companion with the tiger baby." Old Man Yang has four sons and one daughter, the youngest brother is only eight years old this year, and he is still early to work. Old Man Yang is planning to let him know two words. Even if he can't become a scholar, it will be better than being blind. People who know writing and sly will always have great uses in the future.
Huang Sanma looked embarrassed. He knew that General Feng promised his father that he would send his nephew to school and gave him a lot of face. Is it appropriate to introduce other people's children? His father often said that he should be responsible for being a human being and not be close to a foot. He was afraid that his father would not be able to ask about this.
Uncle Yang saw Huang Sanma’s embarrassment and said, “Sanma, Uncle Cheng or not, I miss you. If I can succeed, I will only collect half of your house’s wages.”
The salary of four liang is only two liang, and my father paid three liang. He said that he was so idle that he still recovered a liang of silver in four houses. Huang Sanma laughed honestly and said, "Okay, I remember."
Changes are quietly taking place on the land of Huazhou. The business roads are prosperous, farmers are busy, craftsmen are rising prices, scholars who are studying and literate have doubled their value, and the yamen's servants and clerks are very popular. All industries are blooming like flowers on the grassland, brilliant, and exuding vigorous vitality.
The carriage that Dong'er was riding in rushed into Huiye City with the lively crowds. The noisy hawking sound came into the car, gently lifting a corner of the curtain. Dong'er turned her eyes to both sides of the street: rows of shops, constant carriages and horses, endless crowds of people, strangely dressed Hushang, horse teams, camels, interweaving a prosperous city map. It is said that Huazhou is the northwest border and is very desolate. It seems that those people are talking nonsense, even Wenping Prefecture in Dezhou is not as lively as there is.
Jiang Chenzhi arched from his mother's arms, lay on the car window and looked out, and asked in a slight voice: "Mom, those horses are so weird, why are they swollen on their backs?"
The girl Xiaozhu smiled and said, "Young Master, those are camels, not horses."
"Luotuo?" Jiang Chenzhi learned to speak out in a vague way. He was already four years old and was very naughty and active. Dong'er hugged her son in his arms nervously and said softly: "Zhi'er, do you miss your father or not? When you see him, you have to be good. When you get home, you have to call others and be obedient. You can call whatever your mother asks you to call."
Jiang Chenzhi no longer remembers Jiang Anyi's appearance, and tilted his head and asked Dong'er, "Mom, do dad have a beard? Is the aunt fierce? Will he call me brother?"
Confusion flashed in Dong'er's eyes. She and her husband have been separated for two years. In two years, Xinfei gave birth to her legitimate son Jiang Chenyi. Tong'er also married into the house. She came to the Huiye Mansion. I wonder what would be welcomed by her?
