Chapter 71 Hu Lao San (End)

Grandpa, your grandson will never forget! Zhu Yunxi said seriously, not only will your grandson always remember it, but also let future generations remember it, so that they know the hardships of the people in the world!

Good boy! The old man praised.

At this time, after Hu Laosan sent his mother-in-law to buy fish, he turned around and said with a smile, "Old man, young master, you guys, you can sit wherever you like!"

There was some chaos in the courtyard, but the old man didn't mind it. He pulled Zhu Yunxi and sat on the only two wicker chairs. The others formed a circle and looked around warily.

Hu Laosan, on the other hand, held his chest, walked into the thatched cottage, and said softly to the main room, Mom, I'm back!

An old woman's voice came from inside, she was not working in the fields and she came back so early. Hearing so much noise outside, who is here?

Hu Laosan pushed open the door and went in, and then there was an exclamation from inside.

Then came the old woman's scolding voice. Do you want to make me mad? You accept so much money for no reason? Do you think I'm an old fool? How did I teach you that although we are poor, we must be poor enough to have ambition and conscience!

Obviously, it was Hu Laosan who wanted to give the silver dollar to his mother, but his mother was frightened and thought it was ill-gotten gains.

While Hu Laosan was defending, a stooped old woman with gray hair opened the door, walked out slowly on a crutch, looked at the courtyard with cloudy eyes, and said humbly, "Dear guest, my child is young and confused. It's just pressure."

How can you collect so much money when you have grown some crops!

As he spoke, he held up the money bag and said tremblingly, "Take it back quickly, we don't dare to accept this money!"

He is a sensible old man!

Zhu Yunxi stood up and said with a smile, old man, Hu Sange didn't explain clearly to you, this money is not given for free, you bought several acres of your family's land for food!

The old woman was shocked, "It doesn't take so much. I only have so much food on my small land!"

Zhu Yunxi thought about it and said, not only are you buying grain, but the rice grown in your field is better than others, and the ears are bigger than others. I also have some fields at home, and I want to invite Brother Hu to do it next year.

Go and plant. Cropping is also a craft job. If he plants well, he is capable. This money is the wages given to him!

Seriously? The old woman still doesn’t believe it, but this is too much!

Old sister, just keep it! The old man also said that the secret recipe for growing crops well is not passed on to others. I spent a little money to get the secret of your family's farming. It's not too late for us to be happy!

What secret recipe does he have...it's just...

Mother, don't worry, the money is clear. You can go back to the house and rest, and I will stew fish for you later! Hu Laosan quickly helped his mother back.

After settling down his mother, Hu Laosan came out and smiled honestly, making the old man laugh!

What’s the joke? Your mother is a sensible person. The old man smiled and looked at him. You are also a filial son. When you have money, you know how to give it to me first!

My mother is the biggest in the family. If you don’t give it to me, who will give it to you! Hu Laosan squatted outside the threshold and said with a grin.

The old man also smiled and asked casually, where is your father?

My father has died a long time ago. He fell to death while building the city wall! Hu Laosan sighed and said, he has been dead for more than 20 years!

Suddenly, the smile on the old man's face disappeared.

The Ming Dynasty established its capital in Yingtianfu, which was expanded several times over the years on the original basis. The people who worked on it were all common people near the capital.

Didn't the official provide any pension? The old man asked in a deep voice.

Yes, the two acres of paddy fields at home are just for the pension! Hu Laosan smiled and said, our Ming Emperor is so good, he treats us common people as human beings. The old man in the village said that in the past when Emperor Yuan was here, people died when they died.

It's no different than a dead beast. He was born in the Ming Dynasty, and he will still have land to give him after he dies. This is paddy field, and you can't buy it with money!

Speaking of which, laughed again, these two acres of paddy fields can be used in large use. At that time, I was young, and my mother was not easy to pull me. Relying on this rice, changed coarse grains every year, and feed some chickens, ducks, etc.

Make me not hungry. Wait for me to make a gift with two beams of rice and marry me a daughter -in -law! Haha!

The old man's face was easier, and he whispered in his mouth, and the dog leaned on the ground!

Others may not hear it, but Zhu Yunzheng heard it true, but who the old man scolded, only the old man knew himself.

The people of the peasants must both bear the taxation of the country and the service, but also the time when they have no idle life.

Zhu Yunzheng looked at the objects in the courtyard, and there were a few children who dodged far away. They didn't want to feel uncomfortable in the heart of the old man. He asked, Hu Lao San, six acres of land in your family, went to Huangliang, is it enough to eat?

, Refers to the next few children, even bigger, but you can eat it very much!

Hu Laosan looked at a few sons, frowned, but still smiled. The poor people have the living method of the poor.

When you eat it, you ca n’t be hungry. When they are older, they are also strong labor. They ca n’t go to the city to carry parcels on the dock, and they can also mix a belly!

Although I eat too much, I do n’t have a strong labor force. There are too many people to have a good life! Lao San has a simple outlook on life and continues to laugh. Today, I got the money rewarded by the old man today, and then set up some places, hungry!

The people, even if they are suffering, have never given up their good hope for life!

The old man asked again, how many imperial food do you pay a year?

Hu Laosan was stunned, and the rough fingers of the radish were calculated for a long while, and my face was bitter. I don't know. Anyway, the chief and the official said how much do I pay?

Zhu Yunzheng laughed, you are a muddy man, are you not afraid of others to lie to you and let you make more?

Who dares? Hu Lao San stared at, our emperor's emperor, the killing official is a ruthlessness! How much does his old man give up, who dares to add yes? In the past few years, there was a grain collection on Zhuangzi next door.

Fighting, let the emperor's old man slaughter the whole family!

Speaking, Hu Laosan grinned, and the emperor of our Ming Dynasty was there. Bullying the people couldn't, they had a few heads! When it was anxious, I was on my head with a big cricket and told!

Suddenly, the old man laughed again.

Dasao is the highest law that the old man personally urged himself several times. It records it in detail in detail, and the disposal methods for various corrupt officials.

In promulgation of the world, one of the people in the house is required. If the people are not literate, the local officials will also send a master to explain it so that the people are not in place.

The whole family sent to the frontier and canceled the Ming people.

Once the people find that officials will be harmed, they can enter the Beijing statement. Officials along the way must not stop, who stops.

Maybe the far place of the mountain is not so far away. But after all, this is at the foot of the emperor, and the official of the official did not dare to confuse it.

And due to last year's cricket case, the old man once again made a five -year application, and it was necessary to make the people in the world know that the people in the world.

At the same time, a few points were added to the Dajie. If the people of the virtuous Zhongliang of the city and the rural areas, if the local officials have a disabled, they can bind the Beijing Master.

To put it bluntly, I tell the people that which corrupt officials dare to bully you and grab it directly and send it to the capital.

Although it is a bit idealistic and the people may not dare to do this, the old man is indeed the first emperor to encourage people to sue and arrest officials throughout the ages.

What about the corvee? The old man asked again, although your family has little land, you are still a self-cultivated farmer. You have to do corvee during the slack season. Is the corvee heavy?

Hey! Hu Laosan laughed, I am lucky, the corvee arranged by the officials is a good job!

This made Zhu Yunxi a little curious. Corvee service was to serve the country, and it was all physical work, which could offset some taxes. Just like Zhu Yunxi went north to conquer Korea and sent Liaodong civilians to accompany the army. These people brought their own food and used labor in exchange for tax exemptions.

Everyone else was trying to avoid it, so why did Hu Laosan still say it was a good life?

What's your job? The old man asked with a smile.

Collecting excrement! Hu Laosan was so happy that on the days when I was serving as a corvee, I drove a donkey cart to the capital city to collect excrement along the streets!

Why is collecting excrement such a good job? The old man became interested and asked.

You don’t understand! Hu Laosan said with a proud smile, dung is a treasure. My land can grow so well because of dung! I collected dung in the city and pulled it directly back to my field. This is called

What fertilizer and water?







?

Don't let the fertilizer flow to outsiders? The old man smiled and said, you young man, you have a bright mind! Manure is the best fertilizer!

In addition to being used as fertilizer, how much money can be made by mixing it! Hu Laosan said mysteriously, I am diligent and carry a brush with me, and I clean the toilets of wealthy families. I can get a few copper coins as a reward every now and then!

The people who collected manure with me were a few wealthy households from nearby towns. They disliked the smell, so each of them gave me a few bushels of coarse grains, and I took over the job!

No wonder you are so good at growing crops! Zhu Yunxi also smiled and said, so to speak, although you have less land, your life is no worse than others. Even if you have two more sons, you will not be tired!

I dare not say that!

Hu Laosan waved his hands repeatedly, "It's hard work! Look, my donkey is tired from pulling the cart every day."

Curious, Mr. Zhu and his wife turned to look at the donkey. The beast was quite arrogant. While eating hay, it exhaled through its huge nostrils and gave them a big white eye.

What a beast! The old man laughed.

At this time, the children in the yard cheered, Mom is back!

I saw Mr. Hu's third daughter-in-law coming in carrying a fish weighing about ten kilograms and a few pieces of tofu. She smiled shyly at the old man and Zhu Yunxi.
Chapter completed!
